Text message saying iPhone has been compromised
I received a text that said my phone has been compromised. Immediate action is required. With a phone number ****-8092! Is this a scam?!

It is a scam. Do not respond to texts of those kind. Simply ignore those text messages and do not click on anything. If you have clicked on a link then things are still fine as long as you did not enter any of your username/password information.
