This number texted me but called me by a name only my close family know me as. It said someone was talking to me and directed me to an app on the app store. If this company is trying to market their app, they are doing it in a very creepy way and I would not download the app after that weird spam.
They did the same thing to me. Only some people call me that and I do have a lot of friends in IL and to me that makes it scarier. I didn't open the link but I asked who it was.
This just happened to my son and his real name is not on any of his social media or anywhere online, yet they knew his name. I think that when people click on it or buy the app it is tapping in and stealing their contact list...his name is commonly misspelled and this would be how someone could have put it in their contact list on their phone.
I got a text message from this number saying that some guy was talking about me and they inserted a link. What was crazy is that they knew my childhood nickname, "Shanti". I replied with question marks and received no response, so I blocked the number.
