Expert Opinion
A text pretending to be a friend named Jenny popped up on my phone, then the sender acted like they knew me and tried to get me to open Telegram or click a check link. This kind of spam often doubles as a phishing attempt to harvest personal data. Ignore unexpected messages from unknown numbers, especially those urging you to install apps, share passwords, or download attachments. Use your carrier’s block or spam‑filter feature, delete the message, and report it to the FTC or your provider. Keep a habit of confirming any request through an official channel before responding.

Apparently, these scammers sent me the same text, which seemed suspicious
Following these posts, I will exercise caution before responding; their request to send a check raised suspicions, so I deleted the number from my phone, hoping it's not too late, as the company they claimed to represent is legitimate, but they should have contacted me directly, and now I've learned a valuable lesson
