Bait text message on new phone number ?

Dibaril

I just switched to Fizz yesterday and activated a plan with no text message. Today I'm getting a text message that clearly wants me to respond "Uhm you got the wrong number", and since I don't have unlimited text message I'll probably pay if I send one.
I'm wondering if any of you had the same issue, and if I can expect to receive a lot more bait text messages to try to get me to respond ?
Also how can my new phone number be in spam lists already ??

I really think this is just a coincidence. I have limited texts and rarely receive such messages.

The incoming text message are free therefore you will receive

Sending text is easy and cheap probably they send message to all number

Hello @Dibaril ,

It`s a possible mistake as some user might have tried to reply to someone but instead pressed a wrong number thus altering the final receiver.

You can just ignore the message and that`s it.
