Incorrect message for porting my number

I received a message from Public mobile that they received a request to port my number. But, I never requested this. How to stop getting into any trouble  with my existing phone number? I worry if someone is trying to steal my number... Please suggest.

Thank you!! I replied with a “No”. The text sms said like this:

Public Mobile message: We've received a request to transfer this phone number to another service provider. To approve this request, please reply "Yes". If you did not request this transfer, please reply "No". Please note that you must respond within 90 minutes. If we don't receive a response within this time, the request will be automatically cancelled. For any issues with this number transfer, contact us . Thank you.

@rajrao1982 what shortcide the message sent from? wonder if it is legit.

 

But anyway, Do not reply.  The porting request will die after 90 mins without a reply

Do NOT reply "Yes" to that text.

 

It's likely a 1-time error.
