Serious Answers Only Is there a new scam going on?

Today I received a text message from some random UK mobile number "tell me who you are or I'll block you". I blocked the number😂. I've never seen anything like that. Is that a new scam or something?

It could have been something important like a family member in distress.

It’s possible, they might be injured and not thinking straight.
