Maybe, maybe not. No one here can tell you that.

You might. If you do, delete it. It's a SCAM.

If the message itself says delete spam or your phone is locked, then that is SPAM.
However if when a message comes in and your phone itself gives you a popup giving you the option to delete/report as spam and block the number, that would be fine.

What phone or app does that? I’ve never heard of such a thing.

My DuraForce Pro gives me the option. I can mark as SPAM and report, and have a checkbox if I want to block the sender as well. Been seeing it a lot more these days.
