Scary part is i have a friend called sarah, but thankfully i checked online first and its a well known scam.

Has anyone else had this happen? The fact that its on the phone number listed on my profile and i've never had one of these until now makes me think this is linked to the hack...
I've been hit by this scam more than once going back years, so I wouldn't necessarily assume it's related to this.
