pixel 2 xl wierd pop up?

[Seremedy]

Never seen this before, i was watching a youtube video, when this pop up comes up saying "Google services Framew... would like to send a message to 224444". Is this a virus? I literally only have 6 apps installed, and those are soundcloud, widely used social media services like instagram and Snapchat, reddit, android central. I am just not sure as to why i would get that message while just being on youtube. It popped up by itself and i have no idea what that number "22444" is

That is pretty odd -- I've never seen it. 224444 looks like a short-code SMS number (aka "premium SMS"). Let me check with other Ambassadors.

It could be a telemarketing text or something you subscribe to to send a text . It's a short code , I've had that happen on my tmobile pixel 2xl

Something is trying to send a text message to a short code number. Looks like malware to me

The only time I normally get those is if an automated text comes through and I need to respond but in that case I know who it's coming from

Thats what i was thinking, could be malware on the device, and that pop up is a disguise acting as google for me to click on it and grant access. The phone runs fine though, doesnt act wierd, still speedy, i only have literally 6 apps installed and each apo is widely used by millions of people, there not random apps. I do not think i am subscribed to any text things either lol

Sometimes stores we give our numbers like best buy they send specials or tmobile use to send random text about football or other sports and that would pop up.
