They thought they knew my name - asked who they were and they asked me to chat via Yahoo "txtwoman96" crazy

Same here, I just received a text from same number, They addressed me by my name; scary, makes me wonder if they obtained our info by hacking some company's database (a company we all transact with), and by each of us responding to our name, they now have confirmation of our data...again, scary.  This having been said, I must confess, I do have an active imagination.
