Mystery “hi :)” message: is it a scam?
Summary — +16606554435
Expert Opinion
People are reporting that the number sends a friendly “hi :)” text and then prompts you to add a Yahoo Messenger contact, which is a classic sign of a spam scheme. Such messages often aim to harvest personal data or install unwanted software through deceptive links. If you receive a similar text, avoid replying or clicking any links, and consider blocking the sender. You can also forward the message to your carrier’s spam‑reporting short code to help curb future abuse. Regularly update your messaging app’s security settings and stay skeptical of unsolicited contacts that ask you to add unknown accounts.
