It’s a Fix-Up, Not a Mix-Up
When I got this “wrong number” message on WhatsApp, I checked out the profile photo. My first thought was: online escort. (Sorry I didn’t screenshot that.) So I expressed that opinion early on. But by that last response of mine, she was already self-deported from WhatsApp—unless the system deleted “her.”
Noise!
This is my new favorite wrong number text. At least they’re trying something new. The account was frozen and deleted in record time, but luckily I got this screenshot.
No Improv?
Some days it’s a lot of fun to improvise with the wrong number callers. But there are times when they just don’t try hard enough.  I’m not sure if it’s posting a photograph, pretty much clearly from AI, it stopped the conversation or what.

Sometimes the wrong number testers just can’t do the distance. “Two” wit:
You Gotta Be AI-Kidding Me!
Frequent readers of this blog recall I like to reproduce text chats with “wrong number callers” for your amusement value. One of my friends commented that many of these correspondents are likely AI.
