To think I am being scammed?

Help! I don't know what the scam could be but just got this message. I am on EE

Tesco Mobile: Your iPhone should now be unlocked. Insert an active SIM that’s not on the Tesco Mobile or O2 network into your iPhone and connect it to iTunes.

What could it mean? Is someone else using my number? So confused.

Sorry, drip feed. I got a call from O2 yesterday but when I said I wasn't with O2 they hung up

Call your provider and ask if there's been a request for a pac code. Tell them about this message.

I get multiple messages from, supposedly, Evri, utility companies that I have no relationship with, DVLA and such. It doesn't mean anything. Nobody is using your number. They just send it to the whole list of contacts they legally or illegally purchased and seeing who will be dumb enough to respond. Delete and relax.

When you click sender info it just has options to share your location!! I wonder if it is trying to get me to share that

It doesn't matter! Don't waste your life trying to figure out what the scam is. It's a scam. Delete and move on.

I have blocked it. EE said it may be something to do with Apple so I have changed the password on there too
