Yeah I never realized that a sender could spoof the number in a way that would make my phone insert it into an existing conversation. I had assumed (foolishly, it would seem!) that getting a message in a thread means it is from the same sender as the previous messages.
I guess this is one reason Apple has verified iMessages when you talk to them. The background is a different color, I think, to signify their verified status.
