I got two of these messages about an hour apart. Not exactly worded the same but similar nonsensical speech and strange characters. Is this some type of exploit or a redirect scam to get me to send “yes” to some other service?
The number doesn’t even look valid?

I don’t think with a standard text message there is a way for them to know if it made it to a valid number or not? Otherwise I would say they were just trying to build a list of valid numbers to sell or send spam to in the future.
