I am continually receiving texts telling me to reply to get a gift from +1 831-204-2802 to my WhatsApp. It says that I will lose it if i don't reply within 30 minutes. Please investigate as I fear it may be a scam.

A scam. It works by getting you to call a premium number.

Jules,This is most certainly spam! Do not reply or you might end up losing money rather than a gift.
