Weird "spam" Message

I got a text to my mobile earlier saying I had a picture message, part of the link being a site zban.co/.

I haven't clicked on the link and won't, had a Google and seems to be spam but what I find quite creepy is that the text seemingly comes from one of my phone contacts called "Work", a company that no longer exists.

I've clicked on the contact info and it seems this is a made up contact name (I assume) and not the contact that I have so a little less creeped out now but thought I'd warn in case anyone else gets a similar one as I imagine many people may have a "Work" contact in their mobile!

Did she? Good to warn others in case then.
It freaked me out a bit at first trying to work out how it had come from the work number until I thought about it!

I bet it did.


Emmie hasn't posted in nearly a year, well recalled Baldric,my memory is not that good.



Eve, not emmie, I've been out in the sun too long! :o(

Ah ,I did put Eve's name on the bottom.
Wow, that is a good memory Baldric! At least I managed to click through the contact bit to check, was worried about accidentally clicking on the link! Apparently it's quite a common one and links to some advertising site or something like that.
Oh, haha! Mamyalynne kindly reposted this so in Spam and Scams too.
