It's a scam. If you respond "wrong number" then you get "oh, I was looking for Annie, who is this?" Then try to bait you into something.
Sometimes it becomes trading nudes then turns into sextortion, sometimes it is asking for an apple gift card so they can come visit, it is just a way to get any response and then work from there.
It can be, certainly. But people do change numbers, and others try to recconect with old acquaintances, if you recently changed numbers, it might not be a scam. But as always, but wary of pig butchering.
