Got a random text BUT they knew my name! Creepy!

This number texted me, saying: "hey Paul you there? Have not heard from u in a while." I reply: "Who is this? Kansas area code... Will...?" (I have a friend who lives in Kansas named Will). The number replies: "Lol if u wanna know who this is you got to addd me on yahoo messenger, my name is txtflirty89" I reply: "No thanks." The number replies: "hey my cell is about to run out of battery. just talk to me on yahoo ;-)" I didn't take it any further than that. Clearly a scam.

Same text message using my name as well.  Wonder what database they hacked to get our info.

text message:  "hey Claire you there? Have not heard from u in a while"

Yeeks. i got the same one as claire.  thanks for posting guys, i know people in kansas so it almost got me!
