Expert Opinion

You receive a brief Hey text that urges you to add a Yahoo Messenger buddy, and the tone feels like a low‑effort spam push. Most carriers flag such unsolicited messages as spam, especially when they try to move the conversation to an external chat platform. Ignoring the request, blocking the number, and reporting it to your carrier are the quickest ways to stop future hits. Avoid sharing any personal identifiers or clicking unknown links, as scammers often harvest contacts for phishing or malware distribution. Keep your messaging settings tight and consider enabling spam filters to catch similar attempts.
