    Do originals show up as sent texts on your phone? Taking a guess that someone is spoofing your phone number on their own device.

    Hi, thanks for answering... the texts aren't in my sent items... if it were a random spammer using my number how would they know to send to my friends numbers? Thx in advance!

    Ask one of them to send it back, then you open it :-)

    What model phone and OS version?

    Clicking the link is akin to pushing a shiny, red button with no idea what it will do.

    Lumia 520 8.1 OS 8.10.14219.341

    I checked with IE if anything had stored anything to my phone (I've now checked to not allow this) and a website HAD stored something; and funnily enough it was from a site that I'd gone to that behaved very strangely and I remember leaving it quickly... I have deleted the stored files. Do you think that might be related? Thanks for you help

    If it is related it's the first I've heard of it. I've heard of such things happening using Facebook, but not on Windows phones.
