Images above are screenshots from mystery number

My wife got a couple messages from my mom on Facebook a little bit ago. This number is texting my mom claiming to be looking for me, saying I stole their identity and am using their credit and putting accounts in their name to buy Pokemon cards and other high dollar purchases. They listed a random WhatsApp number saying that I’ve been harassing them from that number and would like my mom to help with any information that could help the authorities. That number is WhatsApp and my name doesn’t come up upon searching it like they claim. They even mentioned my brother having “legal trouble”, I don’t have a brother and the first page of Google shows a local jail roster with someone who has my last name.

Now I know about scams and how anyone can take a name and find relatives and basic info on whitepages and other sites. But when they mentioned Pokemon, that made my skin crawl. I do collect Pokemon cards, nothing high value. I just rip packs and add them to my binder. I have posted in some public Facebook pokemon groups though, so I know that might be viable on Google. But I’ve never purchased any large quantities of pokemon with credit cards or accounts and I’ve definitely never stolen anyone’s identity or used cards that weren’t mine.

I texted that number that the person claimed I was harassing them from. I said “who is this?”, they almost immediately replied back “my name?”. The number who texted my mom claiming this, is a Washington state number that doesn’t belong to any individual or business, only that its carrier is onvoy which is a small red flag. I checked my credit report just now and don’t see any recent inquiries or activity. This kinda feels like they pulled a bunch of public info and trying to extort my family members.

Is this a scam or something to be cautious of?? This feels a little too personal. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Picked up a couple of these at the cheese factory yesterday. I really wanna make some homemade Mac n cheese with this and a couple other cheeses. Will this make my cheese sauce grainy or oily from it being 6 years aged? I’m getting conflicting information on Google and don’t wanna waste it. Any advice is much appreciated!

First off I have no clue whether these are ducklings or goslings. Our local pond has atleast 25 ducks which a few have babies at the moment, most are small and dark. We did have 2 pairs of geese as of last week but now they’re suddenly gone. We found these little guys sitting in a patch of grass away from the ducks. Research shows that goslings absolutely cannot be on their own and they stay with family until grown or even longer.

I’ve confirmed the nearest wildlife rehab center is over 60 miles from me and they want nothing to do with birds(Oregon btw). Are these ducks just waiting for their parents, or are these abandoned geese? I know there’s people around here with bad intentions and I wanna keep these guys safe.
