I got a scammy message about someone from my school mentioning me, be cautious!

Uh yeah, so I get a message today that someone from my school had mentioned me on Uchat. Now those are obvious flaws right there. How could it possibly know what school you go to, and who you are. Obviously, you have not set up an account.
Oh, btw here's the image

It says see who, again, you didn't even set up an account. The shortened link simply send you to the iTunes store.

Most of you guys probably already know right off the bat that it's a scam. But, I just wanted to tell a story.

Maybe someone should set up a dummy account and see what it's about.

Anyways, comments?

Reckon it's those 'invite friends' messages thing?

One of the big red flags is how someone from your school would know your phone number and instead of texting that mentions you in a no-name app that you don't have, but still put your phone number in there. What?

its not clickbait its ambiguous

clickbait and ambiguity are not mutually exclusive
it is ambiguous because it doesn't really give us any information on what the topic will be about except for THIS MESSAGE IS ONE YOU'VE GOTTA BE CAUTIONS ABOUT
and that is also why it's clickbaity because you have to click on the topic to even find out what it's about
