i don't think it's from facebook either. my number is on there, but not published publicly, and they used my name in lowercase. obviously some other source we've all registered at somewhere.
btw, mine came from a 660 area code.

MAJOR SCAM DO NOT CLICK THROUGH OR GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION!!!
Just went to http://giveprizes.com and it's obviously a phishing scam. They have a Best Buy logo and a graphic of a store (not a pic). It says "Get a free $1000 Best Buy gift card. Participation required. Click (hyperlink) for details." Then there are fields for your first and last name, email and cell phone. Below it is a "disclaimer" that states:
