Just texted me and didn't say anything but "(1/2) Yo Lizzy❤️ a girl was talking about you on " didn't finish the message but I looked up the number and saw that other people have gotten it and it lead me to this app but I don't know how they knew my name
Because one of your friends wasn't so smart and clicked on that app, downloaded it, and it stole their contact list and then texted everyone on that list using the name that the number was stored with. Now everyone has a virus and all their information has been stolen off their phones.
Just sending someone a text doesn't infect their phone with a virus. Nor can it steal info from the phone that received the text if the link was not clicked.
