Sent a text to my phone and knew my name.  When I asked who it was, told me too add its username on yahoo messenger

The same thing just happened to me. The number texted me, and knew my name. I have no idea who it is.

it just happened to me.

Just happened to me too. I was about to reply but the area code from Utah makes no sense since I am in TX and don't know anybody there.

Based on the first comment, if this spam that was acquired by yahoo, I do have a yahoo account that I use for fantasy football. A weird thing that happened today, was that it was down. I had never experienced that before, but it was asking me to login again. I also use the service through my phone, so I don't know if the site got hacked and if there is a connection.

Any similar experiences

Same thing happened to me. No name, just number. Same Yahoo username too. Really creepy.
