Is this leak why the spam next messages have gone from “Hi how is your day ?” or “Hi [not my name] please do thing X. Of you’re not [not my name] I’m so sorry perhaps we can be friends.” to “Hi is this [my full name]?” or “Hello [my first name] how is your day ?”


Any leak with your mobile and name pair could have done that. As a non-AT&T customer, I get the my-speecific-name pig butchering texts, too.


True. They’re brand new to me though. I’ve been getting the former for years, the latter for only weeks.
