it's wierd text because someone tried to sent u ã picture or mms. the phone number is ã general number from ã rogers network .

I'm in Montreal, I have a Samsung cell with Virgin, incoming texts are free, and I just got two of those garbled messages. The fake 555 number looked suspicious. I've had my cell for over 5 years this is the first time it happened. Weird. If this is because someone is trying to send a picture why does this 'glitch' give that fake number?

just got four of these messages in a row, I also have a Virgin Canada Rumor 2 cell phone.

I got the same thing on a Samsung Instinct.  And only my dad has my number as it is brand new.  Got for in a row - same script as above.  Very odd.  Plus I have free incoming text - so i doubt that its a money grabbing scam by providers.
Very strange!  Even more strange is the 3 websites with this discussion about the same number that doesn't exist!

I've just started getting the same thing.  I'm on a Virgin phone, which uses Bell's network.

I Googled the number and found an obviously fake car listing (check the seller's address):

Received these random nonsensical texts on my Bell Blackberry Storm.  Contacted Bell Help Desk, they had never heard of the problem.  Started on a Tuesday afternoon, received a TON of them and none afterwards.  Weird.
