I got a text from this number.They said Hola Marvella. Then when I ask them who it was. They said Haha if u want to know who this is u got to added me to Y! Messenger. My id is txtiegirly986. I don't know the number or messager .

Got text from this  number and they refuse to identify themselves.

I received the same text on November 8, 2012:
Hey Mary!!!
Who is this?
haha if you want to know who this is u got to addd me on Y! messenger. my id is textgirly772

I was with my husband at the grocery store and we were like what in the hell!
This has been bugging me for almost a week now!
Glad to know it was just spam!

i received a text from this number this afternoon..It said "Hi Melissa"..i responded asking who they were because their number was not showing on my call i.d.

Got message -- hello Cynde? just ignored it. Husband got one also, hello, Eddie. Also ignored.

Forward the text to 7726:

Security company Cloudmark created a spam messaging reporting service that nation?s major wireless carriers agreed earlier this year to start using. Now, customers of AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and others can forward their text spam message to 7726. The mobile phone carrier will ask customers for the phone number that?s linked to the spam message so they and Cloudmark can start investigating.

Got a text message from this person say "Hey Tracie..." When I asked who it was, I got the same response. To add txtflirt742 on Yahoo IM if I wanted to find out. I mean really? Does this kind of thing work? Whoever thought of this should get punched in the face!

got text from this number using my name as if they knew me. did not respond

Had the same thing happen to me but from a 520 told them to tell me who they were or f*** no response since then but was weird

Recieved a weird message from this number today. I'm assuming it's spam?
Txter: hello Tania you there? haven't heard from u in a while.
Me: Who are you?
Txter: haha if you want to know who this is you got to addd me on Y! msger, my id is textiechikie091
Me: I'm not with the games. So bye

It's been 3 days since I received that text and of course I did not do the messenger add on but I was so curious to find out who it was or what not I googled the area code and since I know no one in Arizona. I googled the whole phone number and found this site. I figured it was spam or what not but I find it really weird that it had my name. Can someone explain this to me?

I also received this exact same message as Sarah. With the replacement of my name. This is weird. What's going on with this.

I also just got this message with my name... my middle name, which I never put anywhere with my phone number (I always use my legal, first name) except for facebook. My phone number is on my fb account

that is odd...

Got this text:

I wrote:

And didn't hear back. How did She know my name? I am super careful with my info. I don't get random calls.

Got a text message out of the blue, asking me to add "txtflirter27" on Yahoo. Likely a scammer

Got a text today
