I get random weird text messages like "hi it's Linda, let's go out for some wine tonight?", "Hey, it's Jeff, are you still looking to sell your home?" "Your package has arrived at the warehouse & cannot be delivered due to incomplete address information". Anyone else??

[@matthewalexander8307]

I do too. Just delete it because I always think that it’s a scam for them to get into your accounts

[@katiemcteague]

All of those are spam. Delete anything from anybody that you are not familiar with.

Same, do not reply. Email as well. Spammers 😢

[@JEAGERlST]

You gave your phone to a random website (definitely a scam) that you long forgot about. Happened to me. Was about to ask them for their home moving services.

Rather than just deleting the texts, block the number the texts came from.

Love the way you talk about FACTORY RESET as if you don't lose everything - photos, numbers, texts - on your phone when you do it. Maybe talk BACKUP first? This is an EXTREME step.

[@miyahbby9307]

do i need to back up the phone to a laptop? or just back it up from the device itself? because i’m planning on resetting my phone but i’m scared of losing anything.

[@melimel9265]

You can back everything up to your email. So after resetting just set up your email and it should all come back. With that being said wont it just put the phone back to the way it was with all the hackers apps as well? I would definitelydo more researchb4 hand. Or just go the long route n write everythingdown n print out all pics b4 resetting. Then enter it all manually after reset. And also change all emails and all passwordslike its the first phone you ever had. Hope you figureout whats best for you. Good luck@miyahbby9307

[@user-cn7vh8kx7n]

Use a large SD card. Transfer everything to it before resetting your phone / tablet.

I have been hearing those clicks you mentioned. I have been getting them on and off over the last few weeks. Sometimes it’s happened when my phone is just sitting there and I haven’t touched it. Other times it’s happened while I’ve been using it. It’s a loud click sound

[@leavesofthetreehealing3211]

So my cell phone is forwarding calls to someone else's number and I found out from watching this video. It's only supposed to be forwarded "when busy," "when unanswered, and "when unreachable." I tried to turn it off and couldn't. I tried to change it to my own number and couldn't. I got the error message "Connection Problem or Invalid MMI Code" and called the carrier. They gave me some new codes and those didn't work. They're going to turn off the forwarding on their end (I hope). They said it could take up to 48 hours. I factory reset the phone. Thanks for the video. But I am concerned that if they changed it once, even if the carrier can change it, whoever did it will just change it back. I'm wondering if I need to get a new Sim card.

[@angiejones968]

Sometimes when I get in my phone and start using it ? It slowly gets so hot I can’t hold it. The only way I can het it to cool down it turn it off . The battery drains really fast fully charged 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't get it either.

I would not open or respond to any texts or calls from ANY number I do not recognize; could be a one-click exploit or something even more dangerous.
