I can’t help but wonder if your phone service provider is filtering the initial message that contains the actual scam, and all you are seeing are innocent people’s responses. Or, I don’t know if text message origination numbers can be forged as easily as for voice, but if so perhaps your phone number is the one sending the original scam message and you’re just seeing replies.
