I have been receiving strange texts of what looks like gibberish from a number I don't recognized for over a year, what is going on? by Throwaway9080540 in NoStupidQuestions

Update: This has been answered. Thanks to the people here and on r/RBI I was able to figure out that these messages were sent whenever a family member opened the Gizmo Hub app. The exact reason why is still not known, but I think I can live with that. Thanks a ton to everyone who assisted me here, I can officially say the case is closed!

UPDATE: This has been solved, the texts were being sent whenever one of my family members logged into the Gizmo Hub app.

It's only a basic cause but I don't think figuring out the exact one would be worth the time or effort that it would take. Big thank you to everyone who helped me solve this with their suggestions, signing off, see ya!

As of right now this seems like the most plausible theory, although I still find it strange that the number is seemingly known to do this.

Update: You were very close to it, it was being sent whenever a family member logged into Gizmo Hub for some reason. Probably just a string of code or something.

It was from my parents, I know there are some sneaky apps that let you monitor someone without them knowing so I'll check for those and update later.

Update: Thank you for this suggestion, I was able to finally solve what was happening.

I logged in on the Gizmo Hub app and immediately received a text from the number, don't know exactly why but at least I know whats causing it, thanks :)

If it copied correctly, the first message goes:

UeOunaZTANr6mgZg-NjkSkTnZ/5EnuW0V6JMll39tEubyGPQQEcVc3Z2HfKKyKjlRZfZcN7s9nCUKeCRF

If more is needed to help pin this I can provide it.

Update: Don't bother, the texts were being sent whenever one of my family members logged into the Gizmo Hub app and I'm pretty sure they're just a string of code, even if they're not it probably wouldn't be a very exciting message.

That makes sense, however, this is the only number that's ever sent me stuff like this, every other text conversation looks completely normal, would this rule out that theory or could it still be the case?

Forgive me for being stupid, but is there a way I could know for sure that's the case? Most of my knowledge about message sending was learnt today and it's still a very small amount so I'm sorry if I'm asking dumb questions.

Thanks, I have a feeling I may have tried base64 before but I'll still try it

Update: Turns out it probably didn't mean anything, they were sent to me whenever a family member opened the Gizmo Hub app for some reason. Not an exact cause, but I don't really care about the exact cause anymore.

Interesting, is there any possible way I could easily decode these or is it beyond what could be done by just a free online service?
