Got a message:

"Hey Ron you there? Havent heard from you in awhile."

Just received a text message from 317 623-8467 saying hello and then my name. I replied "Yes"? and nothing. I believe that this is some kind of bot that is automatically calling and texting random numbers just not sure what the payoff is for them for doing this or if we are creating trouble for ourselves by responding.

also received a hello with my name , I asked who is this and no responce

Recieved a text from this number asking "Are you there? Haven't heard from you for a while." The sender did not leave a name.

I also received a text from this number "you there? Haven't heard from you in a while"
