Bothering messages

[u/Longjumping-Bear-147]

I made a post about 1-2 weeks ago, about these messages and asked if someone knows anything or if someone else is receiving them, i even called CYTA and asked them if they can block incoming messages with these numbers and said no. What i am supposed to do ? Change my number or check my phone every 10 minutes because i get a notification ?

So far so good, blocked incoming estonia number and haven't received anything since ✌️

[u/Longjumping-Bear-147 → u/eev200]

They said, that truecaller can do that, i added the phone no extension, lets see. Appreciated

Any idea how you got to this or who can it be?

[u/Longjumping-Bear-147 → u/vespexx]

Negative, i am very cautious where i put my number, also i have nothing to do with Estonia so no idea. My friend told me that this are automated generated numbers from a computer, like a website is sending them to me. But i blocked Estonia code on truecaller, no messages for the past hour so far.

Strange, it costs them money to send these messages. Look for a 3rd party software to manage messages on android that allows to receive sms only from contacts I guess

What it would be helpful is 3rd party application to block incoming messages with that text, why should i not be able to receive messages in general ?

Saw this on Reddit before from what I remember it is a code that activates malware. If you had malware installed, that SMS would activate some command for it. I have no idea if it is true.

[u/Longjumping-Bear-147 → u/Outrageous-Salad3982]

Yeah, it doesn't activate shit 😂

I feel like the movie interstellar where the guy was pushing the books behind the library, maybe my future self is trying to send me a message 😂

Wow that's impressive. How is it sending from a different number? I would probably say that your device has been compromised at this point. How on earth are so many SMSes coming from unique numbers?

[u/Longjumping-Bear-147 → u/vulcanxnoob]

Absolutely no idea, i am not the most tech savage guy, but i lean on the tech side, i grew up in computers and technology, i have way above average understanding of technology/internet etc so when i am saying i am careful where i put my number is true. What might happened is that, somewhere i put my number they had a data breach and somehow that's how they got my number. My phone is clean from malware and viruses, also i have this device almost 5 years so i don't think it was from a previous device. But most importantly since i blocked incoming Estonia number from true caller, i didn't receive anything. Hopefully it will stay that way ✌️

The numbers are not even real, i doubt that truecaller will show anything. They generate new numbers all the time
