An unknown number suddenly appeared pinned at the top of my messages list. The message included my name and a message to click on a hyper link - I didn't click on it as its clearly a scam. I also didn't pin this message, but have received a few scam type messages lately
Worried my phone may have been hacked.
Do I need to be concerned? Best course of action?
I have deleted the message .

Excellent work! Thanks for doing your part! It will help many, for certain.
No, you did the right thing, it was a spam scam.
You were not hacked. Block the number. Delete the message.
