Is this wrong-number text a scam?

Almost certainly, if the “mistake” turns into a conversation. Scammers send friendly “Is this Jessica?” or “Hi, are we still on for lunch?” texts to thousands of numbers. When you politely reply “wrong number”, they thank you, keep chatting, and slowly build a friendship — then introduce a crypto or trading “opportunity” weeks later. It's the opening move of a long-con investment scam, not an innocent typo.

A genuine wrong number ends the moment you say “wrong number” — a real person is embarrassed and moves on. If they keep the chat going, send photos, or eventually mention money or investing, it's a script. Don't engage; the safest reply is no reply. If they ever send a link, check it before opening it.
