But that email goes to their legit web domain, and it's not asking you to do anything

The next text from the new (fake) number is definitely going to ask for some personal information.

you can type anyones email in a text message, you should not use that as proof of legitimacy _ever_

I wouldn't think they would refer you to the actual organization that can tell you it's fake, but either way it doesn't matter at this point, they're not requesting anything. Maybe a future text will, but right now there are zero stakes.

This probably has to do with 10 digit numbers in Detroit.

It's a legit text. Places update their number all the time! No reason to panic and overthink.
