How should I reply to this apology?

[viera23]

I don't speak Chinese but recently I got a text from a wrong number that said "对不起，昨天弄错了电话号码，打扰到你，我相信你一定会原谅小妹的无心之举，谢谢你，" I used a robot and it translated it as "Sorry, I got the wrong phone number yesterday. I'm sorry to bother you. I'm sure you will forgive my little sister for her unintentional behavior. Thank you." I want to be polite and assure them that i'm not bothered but I don't know what to say.

I would not reply at all, so many scams based on replies looking for live numbers etc.

Yeah I second this.  100% scam.  Delete and "report as spam".

 

Also, also the translation is pretty good but got one thing wrong - it's not "my little sister".  It's the author referring to 'herself' as a young girl.  'Herself' in quotes because who knows if the scammer is even female.

Honestly....who sends a text message, the next day(!), to apologize for calling a wrong number??

 

100% scam.

If you're in China or other Chinese-speaking territory it may well be some form of spam. If not, I doubt anyone's mass sending Chinese spam texts in the hope of getting someone who speaks the language. 

 

Year or so back I had a brief [Chinese - forgot that important bit] text chat with some guy who was trying to arrange a game of golf with his buddy in the south of England. We marvelled at the coincidence, but he lost interest when he realised I know nothing about Scottish golf courses.

Definitely do not reply.

Mistake. Definitely do not reply. It's a scam. Not normal Chinese civil behavior.
