Texts coming through from friends but displaying an unknown phone number

I have been receiving texts from two friends but the message shows ad if coming from another number that is not theirs.  Neither had changed their number and their messages to me are still coming through.  Other friend’s messages are coming and going fine.  This feels like a scam of a hack / can anyone help?

@ZX 

Sounds more likely to be an issue with their network tbh.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

@ZX - if it has recently started happening, have you checked your phone's address book for each contact is correct? Just a possibility, in addition to advice offered above. Good luck!

Sometimes happens on iphones if they are upgrades and coming through as the temporary number before transfer

A little more investigation by way of questioning your friends
