Sounds like a really spammy and annoying way to promote an app. I assume someone else who has your phone number signed up on their app and gave access to all their contacts. Then the app sends out spam texts to get you to sign up.
Depending on where you are located, you might be able to report it. Otherwise just drop them a bad review, or name and shame them here
edit, I assume it's this: https://slickapp.co/
Their website is slickapp.co (without the m at the end), but their Android package name is com.slickapp.
Isn't that a bit of an issue?
For example, when handling URLs?
Don't most Android packages begin with com. ?
@biscat @tanja yea
