Is this a scam

[Changefor]

Sorry posting here for traffic! Probably nothing but…

Just received this message from a number with the name as Sandy (not in my contacts, so sent from a name rather than a number).

Anyone received similar?

It bothers me because I don’t think you can block numbers which show as a name (I’ve tried before previously with unrelated names).

I don’t know if someone has signed me up for something as a prank or? Does anyone know anything about this, or of any services which use the name Sandy?

Thanks 😊

Just ignore and block. It's either a mistake or something unwanted so avoid engaging with it at all.

I don’t think I can block it (I’ve tried to block other ‘named’ numbers before and still continued to receive countless messages) but will ignore, just wondered if I’ve been signed up for something

If it was a normal mobile I would say probably inncoent mistake

The fact it's a short code connected to a name so it looks like "Sandy" in your phone makes me think it's probably a premium number hoping you'll text some thing like "Sorry I think you have the wrong number" and be charged

Either way I think delete and ignore is the way forward!

It doesn't seem to be soliciting any further interaction from you so I would lean towards this being a wrong number; in any event, ignoring and not engaging is the sensible thing to do.

I'd just ignore it.

Out of pure nosiness, how do you have so many unread texts??

Haha good question, I get texts when I get an email but I don’t bother reading/opening the texts 😊

Thanks everyone, it just threw me when I received it. Tbh I was worried it was for some type of service that’s supposed to be inconspicuous and didn’t want them thinking I was in trouble (probably very dramatic but I am a worrier). But yeah will just ignore 😊
