Scam text from a contact I did not save

Hi,

weird situation is happened to me.

I received two scam texts from a number that my IPhone suggested to come from a saved contact. So, I checked into my contacts and that contact was actually presented. But, I’ve never saved it.


I reported the messages as spam and cancelled them. Also, I cancelled te contact. At that point, I recovered the messages. They resulted in two different conversations (one conversation with just one of the two messages, and the other conversation with both of them) with two different numbers (and different from the original one).


I’m worried about the random contact it was saved on my IPhone. I do not get how it is possibile.

Do you have any ideas and suggestions?

Thank you!
