At 70 years I've never owned a cell phone. Why is a different story, but basically I never needed one, unitl now. But now my old Sony Walkman MP3 player died. Then I got hearing aids that are controlled by a smartphone via bluetooth. And I wanted GPS navigation for my motorcycle. Maybe remote control of my Canon.
So I got a smartphone for only those functions. Don't use it as a phone. Don't text message. Nobody but my wife has the number. Today I received my first text message. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself! Here it is, what do you think I should do?

At 79 I don't have a smart phone. I do have a dumb cell phone for use in emergencies (but I usually forget to bring it with me.) I suppose it can receive text messages, but I have never bothered to find out how to read them any way. Not necessary, since I never give the number out to anyone but my wife.
If I ever got a smart phone, I'd have to find some youngster (say, about 70) to show me how to use it.
As for your question, "what to do?" I guess the best thing is to post it in the coffee corner and then delete the message. Oh wait: You did, didn't you? ;)

It's a fake ad. There are not armies of gorgeous babes waiting to meet you. :)
But if it turns out there are, let me know.

It's annoying. The phone companies could fix this if they chose. For whatever reasons they won't. Just don't give your cell number to anyone.

They make a lot of money at it, that's mostly why.

If you get multiple offers on the same day, one for a hot chick, another for a multimillion cut on an Nigerian heritance deal, and a subscription-free Photoshop it would be difficult to decide which offer to take.

Wait for the text offering you blue pills, cheap, before you answer. It may help when a vast "community" of women is awaiting you.

...what do you think I should do?...
Chicks dig dudes on bikes, so go for it! ;)

You don't have to: they simply send out to thousands of random numbers and one might well be yours. I have had many fake texts, especially from banks (I do no online banking) and even from banks I have never heard of, never mind having accounts with them.
It's the penalty some of us pay for the utter joy of photographing our soup and sending it to our poor family, thus psychologically forcing them to reply. Unless reserved for emergencies, cellphones are a bugger - an expensive bugger.

This is worrying. I wish I hadn't answered this post of yours. Of course, I didn't open the link, but nevertheless, instead of the steady flow of rather pretty fashion ads that have been gracing my computer recently (unsolicited, but not unwelcome), I now have unwanted ads for a dating line. Hell's teeth, those algorithms are frighteningly rapid! Faster than Kung Fu fighters are supposedly fast. And probably even more dangerous to public health and security.

It wasn't that.
I think that the problem is that you were lately telling everybody you have purchased a new expensive watch and now they are trying to infiltrate their agents.
Be wary of pretty girls asking for directions ;)
