Or a spoofed number, it works with calls, I assume it also works with SMS?

A spoofed number only works going out, but if you respond, it would go to the real person instead (the same if you call the spoofed number back, you’d get the real person and not the spammer). Since this bot is responding to their replies, it can’t be a spoofed number.
