I’ve received mass group texts before. Clearly computer generated as there are over 100 numbers all with sequential suffixes.

The message is usually “can you pick up some gift cards”? Or “did you get the (item)?”

Obviously junk…the incredibly annoying part is people on the text chain reply to it for days!! Phone blows up with people asking questions or just replying SCAM etc.

Blocking the original number doesn’t stop all the reply’s from coming through.

I had one of these where my number was spoofed in as the original sending party.

All I can figure is that who ever reply’s they harvest that as a known good number.
