I live in FL, received a text message from this number. It went as follows:

Them: hi John you there?? haven't heard from you in a while.

Me: Who is this??

Them: Lol if you wanna know who this is u got to addd me on Yahoo msger, my id is boothhha908

(At this point, I looked up the area code and figured it was some sort of spam.)

Me: No thanks, I don't know any one from Montana.

Them: hey my cell is gonna run out of battery. just talk to me on Y! ;)

Me: Nope.

Just letting people know that this is most likely some sort of bot.

I just received the same text as previously mentioned. I thought I'd check this site out before I respond. They are using the name I use on Facebook(which is not my real name). It must have some kind of connection.

Tonight at 6 pm I received the same text. But the Yahoo messenger name used was "charinieg827." I called my cell phone carrier to have calls and SMS from that # blocked.  Any call block app would serve the purpose.  I am an M.D.and I was involved in patient care and was perturbed by the disturbance.

I just received the same exact message and it's linked to Facebook.They used my mans name and Facebook is the only place that my number is linked to his name. This was the number they text me from +14256543310 saying the same thing as the person above. Telling me to add  Boothhh908 on Yahoo

Just got the text as well. Acting like they know me and suggesting we've talked before. Didn't take the bait.
