They look like spam, not a problem with your phone number. Unfortunately, many of us are getting spam text messages. Just keep deleting them. Or, you can select Settings > Messages then scroll down to Filter Unknown Senders. This way, they will all go to a separate folder and not interfere with text messages from people/companies in your contact list.

Thank you for responding! I do all the things you mentioned, still feel concerned why my phone number is included. Phone was purchased on 7/9/22 new from Verizon….and this started happening. Had a Samsung android before and never had issues.
