Hey Midlfe, Thanks for posting your question about your texts from messenger in Apple Support Communities! It is likely you are receiving those texts from the Messenger app because you have two-factor authentication set up on that account. When someone is attempting to sign into your account on the Messenger app it will send your phone a verification code in order to verify that it is you. If you did not attempt to sign in then you will need to contact Facebook for assistance with securing your account. Best wishes.
