got a text message not sure who. maybe textiegirl97 on yahoo messenger. then her phonr died and i dont have yahoo

Received a text message yesterday on our WORK pre-paid phone that said "hola Brad"....Brad is my maintenance tech, this is very strange! How could they possible know his name?

Called the number - it's a TextPlus free texting number

Same - except it was txtiegirl38
The weird part is they used the name my friends call me, not what my phone is registered under.

got a hello lorie??? text

same here UGH!

Received message "hi Lisa?". Responded "Yes?". Got the response "Lol if you want to know who this is you got to add me on yahoo messenger, my name is textiegirl97". Responded "I'm not on yahoo messenger and can live without knowing who this is" and received no response. Obviously some sort of scam.

Forward the text to 7726:

Security company Cloudmark created a spam messaging reporting service that nation?s major wireless carriers agreed earlier this year to start using. Now, customers of AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and others can forward their text spam message to 7726. The mobile phone carrier will ask customers for the phone number that?s linked to the spam message so they and Cloudmark can start investigating.

Yeah, this same thing happened to me today. "Hello Kelsey..."
Doesn't seem like anyone has any luck in figuring this out. Weird.

Got text saying "hi Alice" I said who is this and sent question marks.. but no reply.googled the number and it said Kansas city, ks...

What is this number?

The phone is in my husbands name not mine so why my name?

received text message Hello vicky.. ..
I responded M?
They did not respond.

Received a text message at 7:59 pm in southeast texas from 913-204-7006 that said Hello Vicky....
Searched number on internet showed Kansas City, Kansas.  Do not know any one from this number.  I had responded with M?  and Kansas who?  received no response.

Got a text that said "hi Susan!!"

I did not reply. Have not gotten any more messages.

I got a text today saying hi Codi...  Not sure who it is but they didn't respond back when I asked who it was.

gotta text said "Hi Steven!!!" replied but nothing else.

I replied saying "Who is this?" and that person was like if you wanna know who this is add textiegirl453 y!msg or something like that

Has to be some sort of Identity theft scam. Got an "Hola Albert" will I was at work. No way we all know the same person, let alone eachother. Would say dont reply if you get anyother texts like this.

Got a "Hey Bridget!!!" text from this number. No idea who it is.

I got a text from this number saying "Hola mike" no reply when I asked who it was. I found it to be a Kansas city area code.

Same thing happened to me today. I got a text that said "hi Stephanie..." and then when I responded asking who it was, I never got an answer.

Got a text "Hi Debbie". I text back hello. Nothing after that. Didn't try to call them cause I don't care who it is. Obviously it's not someone I know.

I got a text message from this number. Whoever it is knew my name, and when I asked who it was, I never got a text back. Tried calling, no one answered.
