“When are you free for coffee?” Long lost friend or a scammer trying to get you to respond?


Consumer Alerts from the Federal Trade Commission

You get a text message from a number you don't know, asking when you're free to catch up over a cup of coffee. 

Don't perk up just yet. That invitation for a coffee date might sound like it's from a friend you've lost touch with, but it's probably just a scammer looking to start a conversation with you. 

Not sure how to respond? The short answer is: Don't.
