Why on earth did you call it?  Roll Eyes

Please do not call it again. The reason these scams exist is because people are apparently that trusting into believing that what is written is true.

Do you or would you mind your children accepting sweets from strangers?

The number the text came from is a big clue. +20 is Egypt and 10 are mobile/pager numbers
