This is the last remind message
Based on these messages featuring John Smith , John Doe (I assume this was intentional, though it could be intended as someone with a surname of Doe choosing an English name of "John"), and Eva Green , I suspect that they were intentionally fake names.
Clicking on the preview item opened it up, and it was empty.
I wiped emails from the GMail application, and wiped the tablet clean, prior to seeing these fake messages.
The tablet isn't intended to send or receive text messages, though it received a few in the past prior to me wiping it.
How can I stop these fake messages appearing?
