You need to up the swag on your online persona. I get this message from "rich horsey lady" periodically:

>I'm Alyssa. are you the equestrian instructor that Tina referred me to?

>I'm very sorry, I just checked the number and it was my assistant who sent the wrong number, I hope I'm not disturbing you.

>Thank you for understanding, you are a friendly person, I have found the right number, your number and the riding instructor's number are only one number away, haha, it was a wrong encounter, but it was a kind of fate. Let me introduce myself, my name is Alyssa Chow what is your name?

Also got it from a "Lillian." I do hope they and her assistants find Tina's equestrian instructor.

Just to screw with them, you should make a fake business website for Tina the Trainer, with that phone number listed and everything and AI photos of fake lessons with Alyssa.
