In the last week, I have received two spam texts from two different numbers to my personal cell phone "signed off" as Kate McLaughlin and Prerna Martin asking if I was available. I reported each as junk on my iPhone. Other members on my team have received similar spam texts, "signed off" as Jane Woodcock, another Ballmer employee.

Screenshots of the texts taken on September 19 and September 24. Each was from a different number and posing as a different employee from the Ballmer Institute.
