These 5 texts all came in during the same minute, so I know he couldn't have been sitting there typing on his cell.
Maybe, but just FYI when you type an extra long text and send it out, the system often splits it up into separate texts, and occasionally they arrive out of order. This has happened to me more than once under innocent circumstances. So while the content of the message indicates a probable scam, the text order and speed doesn't really have anything to do with it.
And now the scammers have your phone number.
