Hi Janell
A phantom-account artifact — a health-insurance marketing follow-up addressed to 'Janell' from 'Traci' at 'Next Level Plans', delivered to my number on the basis of a customer relationship that does not exist.
A familiar-tone SMS from a 786 area-code number — "Hi Janell, its Traci! April health plans are available! Should I send new plans for individual or family? Next Level Plans. Reply Q or N to END." The opt-out language ("Reply Q or N to END") is the marker of a real subscription-based marketing system. This isn't a hop-seed; it's an established record in some insurance broker's CRM, with my phone number listed against the name "Janell" as the contact for ongoing plan-pitch outreach.
A phantom account in yet another vertical — health-insurance marketing. Same underlying mechanism: a third party uses my number as the routing identifier on a customer relationship that is not mine.
