The invite is probably a bait for people to respond with "sorry, I think you got the wrong number" - this would verify the number is active, and then the scam attempt could begin.

I wonder if iMessage enables links in subsequent messages after you reply too. All the scams I get now ask me to reply “Y” to enable the links lol, because replying enables it on the previous message. I’m not sure if it enables it on the follow ups too.
