I received two texts from the number 1 (234) 5. A number that looks like this is usually from a computer generated source. I believe these are some sort of phishing texts, where they send out mass texts to see who responds. The first text said, "Home Install. Reply STOP to end. HELP for help". I have not hired any type of home install whatsoever. After I didn't reply, a second text was sent the next day from the same number - it was gibberish and said, "asdasdasasd. Reply STOP to end, HELP for help". I did not reply to this one either. Today I received a similar text from a different number (321) 456-9871. This text said "test. Reply STOP to end, HELP for help". I sent a reply text telling them to f*** off, and I got an immediate error response back. +1 (1) 216 116-11 sent me an error message saying "13214569871 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valit short code." Which I think means they generated a new computer number to look like a proper phone number. I'm not sure what they're up to, but be careful.
I received the same set of text messages! SO ANNOYING! So I just added the 321-456-9871 as a contact in my phone under the name "Fake Text [***]" and blocked it so I'll no longer receive any text messages from it.
This is annoying and definately a phishing scam, I keep getting text messages asking me to reply STOP or HELP to end. Not sure what to do to get rid of it.
