What prompts a stranger to send a lone 'hello' text followed by unsolicited calls? These reports point to a pattern of unsolicited messages and persistent follow-ups, often hallmarks of scam attempts or unwanted solicitations. Recipients wisely blocked the number, preventing further hassle. If you receive similar outreach, avoid replying—engaging can confirm your number is active, inviting more spam.
