Got a text threatening me with death from Mexican cartel members because "I was wasting their girl's time". Demanded $3,000 "or else".
They did a reverse search to get my name address etc - simple internet stuff readily available.
Obviously need to switch to a burner - any suggestions?
Anyone else get something like this? What if anything did you do about it?

In other words-- don't pay them... be prepared in the event they do try to cause problems-- but if they're after money, they probably won't. Once they show their hand, you're no good from a $$ perspective anyhow.
