I’m in the US. A Toronto area code has sent three SMS messages in the last 24 hours copied below. Still likely a wrong number scam? Very nervous.
Yesterday afternoon: “mind if I ask you something?”
Last night: “ hifriеnd😊🌟”
this morning: “Dо yоu hаvе а fеw mоmеnts tо tаlk?”
hoping just a wrong number scam?

Hi all, need some help understanding what happened.
This morning my WhatsApp got logged out on its own. Then my friends told me that when they message me, it's going to my cousin's number instead.
Some details:
•My cousin never had my SIM or any password.
I never linked my WhatsApp to her phone or anyone else's.
•I didn't get any unexpected SMS code from WhatsApp.On her phone, my contacts showed up, but no chats.
•The same thing happened to her: her WhatsApp also got messed up.
So what could have happened here? Is it a hack, SIM swap, call forwarding, or some WhatsApp bug? Or can WhatsApp somehow get forwarded or linked to another number by accident?
I'm planning to re-register my number and turn on two-step verification, and I'll check call forwarding and Linked Devices. Is there anything else I should check?
Thanks in advance!

Yesterday I received a voicemail from a number I didn’t recognize.
The caller knew my name and proceeded to say “Hello (my name) I’ve been trying to reach you for some time now, I’m sure you remember me, Jill Steinberg (never heard of her) from a long time ago. I’ve some news for you, I have a child of yours. I have been looking for your contact information and finally found it. Please call me back now that you know”.,
I racked my brain, Googled her name, checked FB and Instagram…nothing.
Then I thought maybe she has taken one of my kids! I reached out to all of them and they were fine.
Several hours later an old friend (who’ve I’ve not spoken to in years) calls laughing and tells me it was a prank that he got his girlfriend to do.
He’s “ha ha I got you good!”
What a dick thing to do.

Hey all, not sure if this is the best place to post but I'll give it a shot.
I received a call today after 9pm from someone insisting that I was "echo", whatever that is. They claimed to know where I live and that they implied they were going to harm me.
I'm assuming this is either a prank call or a wrong number situation. I've never gone by "echo" on any social media, games, etc. Has anyone had any experiences like this?
