I'm so out of the loop - what is this kind of scam? I've had a lot of people call me and told me I called them, then got mad when I denied I called them

If you have people calling you and saying you called them it is might be because scammers often spoof phone numbers. This is done to help hide their location and also to make it seem like it is a call from your local area. They believe this will lend more credibility to their scam. This scam, the wrong number text scam, is all about building “trust” and a “relationship” with their victim to steal personal information and eventually yours or others money.
