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’m convinced it’s a scam text. I just wish I hadn’t mentioned it to stbex as he made a huge deal out of it. This morning we had a fight about it and he said “you can have as many dick pics in your new place as you like” WTF. He did take it back soon after but what the hell!

Well it’s easy to see why he’s your ex.

He blamed me as our teenager heard and became very anxious that it was a picture of our house or that we were being targeted. I wish I hadn’t said anything now. Ex said, well you’ve told me you’ve had dick pics before. Yeah so has every woman on earth!
