Q: Siri seems to be hacked

Hello,

Everytime I use SIRI to send a text message I got tow reply

1-  from 662-453 that said : [message] was not found or invalid for help, reply with HELP

2- from _$!<mobile>!$_ that said : [the exact message was Sending]

 

I reply to the first one with HELP since I cant be in more trouble... I got an answer saying :  Synivers Marketing Alerts: Get 10 msg/mo Msg$data rate may apply Info: 800-892-288 reply STOP to Cancel.

 

 

Any one have a clue how to get rid of that????  I'm on IPhone 6 IOS 10

 

Thanks!

    Hi there, pvenner! Thanks for using Apple Support Communities!

     

    From your post, I see you're getting "_$!<mobile>!$_" when you use Siri to send a text message on your iPhone upgraded to iOS 10. I've got to be honest, I had never seen that type of error before. But I tested it out with my family contacts to see if I could recreate this and I did. I'll be glad to let you know what I've found.

    For most of my family contacts, Siri sent a message without issue. All except for one of them, I received the same "from" number and "_$!<mobile>!$_" message. When I checked my Contacts app for my oldest son, there were several contact cards with differing information. Once I removed all that weren't correct, Siri sent my "I love you" message without an issue. Since you replied to one with the word "Help" and received a text alert back, both issues may be related to a marketing contact.

     

    Hope this helps!

    I checked with a lot of me contacts and they all do the same...   Do you have any other Idea?
