    Very unlikely they have anything worth saying :)

    They'll probably just try to get you to download malware, pretending it's a needed update; some examples:

    I would just ignore the person/block them. There should be an option somewhere to only accept messages/incoming calls from your contacts as well, which I'd advise you to implement.
