Maids

Screenshot of an SMS from an unknown number addressing 'Mauri' and pitching a maid-service appointment, with an invitation to reply.

Another hop-seeding opener arrives — same structural shape, this one dressed as a maid-service business pitching a holdover discount.

Another text arrived from a number I did not recognize, addressed to a name that is not mine ("Mauri"). The cover this time is a maid-service business offering a holdover discount from a previous engagement that does not exist. The opening structure is the canonical hop-seeding shape: unknown sender, wrong name, friendly tone, an explicit prompt to reply ("Would you like me to check a spot for you?").

This time I did not reply.

The screenshot is kept here. Each individual instance has limited evidentiary weight on its own; the value emerges when the full year of these is collected, the numbers and timing compared, and the pattern analyzed across the set.
