[US] Text from “Attorney” stating my information was found in a digital incident tracking audit

I received the following text from an unknown number:
“DLA Piper: this is Attorney [Name]. Your number appeared during our digital incident tracking audit.
Please confirm your name and the amount you were scammed.”

An hour later I received a follow-up text:
“Please let us know if you need clarification, otherwise please reply with your name and loss amount.”

I called the phone number and it rang but I got the generic “the subscriber you are trying to reach is unavailable, please leave a a message after the tone” message. Couldn’t find any information on the specific attorney, but the firm seems legit.

I am wondering if this is a typical scam since they are parking for my name, and I’d imagine that if I engage they will bait more information.
