Likely scammer. Said they were Verizon Wireless Fraud prevention team and asking if I recognized a charge for $9.99 but reverse lookup shows it is an unpublished landline
I received a text from my prior employer, a series of “friendly” messages and then a request to take care of surprise gifts for staff.
I'm planning to surprise some dedicated members of staff with gifts and I will like you to handle this for me. I will get back to you with the full details. Let me know if you can take care of this.

Yo man, how's it been?
I'm headed to PA Friday for a couple weeks. When you headed back north to AK?
Googled and 844 739-0720 is a debt collection agency in Pennsylvania. 610 is Penn area code. I have never been there, but was hospitalized while traveling and insurance won't pay out of state medical.
In other words the text was from a deceitful debt collector
