Assuming that this was a “green” SMS message, no “hack” was involved.
Spoofing a caller ID is technically not much more difficult than putting a false return address on an snail-mailed envelope.
You might consider reporting it to your carrier.
Ok, thank you
You’re welcome.
Regardless, it IS still quite disconcerting when these are received.
