Matthews Surveys Scam Text Message

I got a Matthews Surveys text message that came in today from 602-671-0014 and went as follows: "Hi, this is Beth, at Matthews Surveys. You have been randomly selected for a survey by text instead of calling. To begin are you (name redacted)?" My response: "Hi Beth. To prevent a possible phishing attempt, please provide me with your company's website, contact information (phone number and email). Thank you. Their response: Thanks for your time. Have a nice day. So I'm going with this as a phishing attempt. If you're a legitimate company, you should have no issue providing this to your "customers".

Got the same from Anna in Michigan. Was a 734 number.

My response was a bunch of random questions to her...
I'm not expecting a response

Anne just showed up in my texts, as well. Wish there was a place to report/forward these idiots.

I have received multiples of this text starting in July. My number is from a completely different state from where I am residing today. All say the same things as above. Two times they have texted me using a number from the state I currently reside and then I just received another text from a completely other state that has no relevance to me. One time I replied with no I'm not "My real name" and they replied with. "Thank you for your time". IDK what to make of this other than it is annoying. I don't plan on giving any info.
