Hello,

 

I'm active at a dating app called badoo and lately, I see some Russian girls with there phone numbers in their bio, and the fishy part about it is its constantly the same phone number and the number starts with +44 which is the prefix of the UK, not Russia.

 

so I'm thinking about confronting the person behind the number with this just wanting to know more about this. but I'm afraid of them infecting my phone in some way so I already disabled automatic downloading, but I'm not sure if this is the only way of them infecting my phone    

 

ask me about your system builds, AIO's, CPU's, PSU's, and GPU's.

I wouldn't call it as spam. I believe they are bots.

Don't confront, there's no point fighting it. Even if you do decide to try contact the puppetmaster for whatever reason, they would probably just ignore you. I imagine nothing malicious would happen out of it unless you actually messaged the number.

just ignore it, there's no purpose in trying to fight something that'll disappear and respawn elsehwere the moment you manage to get a hit.
