Fake SMS from a relative

[SteveABex]

Good morning all,

I have received a text messages from a relative which contains text which they did not include, we confirmed this when we met later by comparing the texts.

For example, a text about recent holidays would include partial details about a welding course.

My relative sent the original text and it appears as their number on my phone therefore I am reluctant to block the number.

I would appreciate some help,

Regards Steve

This is going to be a difficult one, as i would recommend usually reporting it as spam.

In this instance i would just delete the message and see if any more come through, as it could be the relatives handset playing up.

One of you is using a message app which includes something called airpush ads or there is another app on either phone with such ads.

MalwareBytes app will identify the culprit.
