Obscene text message sent to my phone with my name on it

Just received two text messages in a row from a random mobile number with obscene messages and pictures. Whoever sent them knew my name. Example-Hello Dawn…

Could this be a scam? I’m worried that they knew my name. Told my stbex who I’m still living with and he hardly spoke to me all evening and said it was bound to be someone I knew?! I just randomly showed him as if to say - eww look what I just got sent but I didn’t count on his reaction.

I just assumed it was a scam text that had got hold of my name and number. He acted like I had asked for it and punished me for it!

I’ve blocked and deleted it. It was my ex’s reaction that made it worse which scared DS. I was silly to even mention it to him, he was acting like it was someone I knew that was sending me porno messages and I obviously knew them 🙄

Good job you are getting rid of that tosser. It's probably one of his mates.
