Is this a spam/phishing text
I keep getting a text message telling me that I have (1) new photo message and then a Web link (I haven't gone onto the link just in case). I have tried Googling this and some say it is a scam while others say it is legitimate. Can anyone please give me a definitive answer please. Thanks

If it doesn't say who sent you the photo, then it's 100% spam IMHO.0

As above who from ??
Your brother/ sister .
Or totally unknown that is near 100% malware .0 -
It was from a mobile number but not a number I or my phone (I have TruCaller app) recognised.0

Agree - likely malware or spam.
I'd be more specific, but I'm currently tied up - I've just heard from the enslaved daughter of the late dictator of Nigeria, General Sanni Abacha III - she's asking me to help legitimately move 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars (US) currently being held in a suspense account. Don't tell anyone - think I'm on to a real winner here, she sounds desperate...0 -
Don't forget that's dollars. Much less in pounds.0
