I Accidentally Gave a Pimp My Number

A reddit report about a impersonation scam that cost someone Amount not specified. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

I (22F) was at work and gave a guy my phone number. I wasn't interested in him, but when guys ask for my number I usually just give it so they don't push back. I wasn't planning on texting him at all. It blew up into a whole thing—apparently he is a pimp and was trying to pimp me out. I blocked the number immediately. All this guy knows is my first name, where I work, and my phone number. Please don't scold me for giving him my number; I've learned not to do this anymore. But I just need advice on how to handle this.
