Years old text reappeared suddenly then vanished

I passed my previous Iphone 12 to a family member when I upgraded. We kept our own phone numbers. Suddenly a text seemingly sent to/from my number several years ago (and several previous phones ago) appeared on their phone, then vanished in less than a minute. Apart from the fact we share Family ICloud, is there any explanation for how this happened? How can I prevent this happening again?



iPhone 16 Pro
