If You Were Alerted That 55 Assassins Would Reach Your House In 10 Minutes? by ItuExchange(m): 1:33am On Jul 28, 2016
The question is:

“If you received a "They are coming for you in 10 minutes" text message from a random number in the middle of the night, what would you do?”

I’d text back: “Confirm Password”

Just in case, I’d wake my eldest daughter (just mustered out from the USMC) and show it to her. We’d arm ourselves (yes, with firearms; what were you expecting? baseball bats and pepper spray?) and watch the front and back of the house for about an hour. I’d call the front desk of the local police station, ID myself with the turn sergeant, and ask if there is a current or imminent operation in my area, if not, I’ll thank him or her, mention the text, ask if they can send a car for a well-being check within the hour, then thank them, say I’ll be calling later with to update with confirmation that it was a prank, then hang up.

My daughter standing by with 911 ready on her speed-dial

If nothing happens within an hour, I’ll call back with an update, thank them for their time, then we’ll go back to sleep.

Paranoid?

Yes. I’m a retired prosecutor; there are a couple of people who would like to see me dead and have no objection to making it happen.

I know for a fact that there is no need for a police operation against me, particularly in the middle of the night.

And the password? Just to mess with the mind of the potential prankster… and if it is “for real”, they will certainly say something I recognize; if it is a hoax, they are unlikely to reply.

I doubt that I’d ever get as ambiguous a text as this; if anyone were to give me a real message, they’d use some sort of confirmation in the message itself.

I’m still not taking chances though, so that’s why I’d get ready and make the call (I’m on a first-name basis with more than one cop on that station). I’m also going to sleep in ‘caution mode’ after setting noisemakers behind the doors…
