if its a text, it will be a some scam, just block the number, dont even reply, theres programs that can hack into your phone as soon as you reply to a text, and they can get full control of all your phone, date and passwords, be careful peopleepidemiks wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 11:20 amSame, though the same name each time. 4 or 5 messages over the last few days.

I initially thought it was a scam, but it's a legit facebook number and URL.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 12:11 pmif its a text, it will be a some scam, just block the number, dont even reply, theres programs that can hack into your phone as soon as you reply to a text, and they can get full control of all your phone, date and passwords, be careful peopleepidemiks wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 11:20 amSame, though the same name each time. 4 or 5 messages over the last few days.

yeah think youre rightdavegorman wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 1:22 pm The only way they can hack your phone is if you click on a link within the text. Your phone can’t be accessed just by simply replying to a text message.
Unless you read it on Facebook therefore it must be true.

My best guess is some douche is attempting to verify new bot/anon/scam facebook accounts with random phone numbers.
Neither do I. It doesn't need to be linked for FB to send an SMS, someone just needs to type in that phone number into the facebook signup form and Facebook sends the message.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 3:03 pmi dont have my number linked to my facebook so im not sureepidemiks wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 2:35 pmI initially thought it was a scam, but it's a legit facebook number and URL.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 12:11 pmif its a text, it will be a some scam, just block the number, dont even reply, theres programs that can hack into your phone as soon as you reply to a text, and they can get full control of all your phone, date and passwords, be careful peopleepidemiks wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 11:20 amSame, though the same name each time. 4 or 5 messages over the last few days.
