I got this same text tonight and I also think it's connected to ads I ran on craigs list to rent my  vacation home - I had included my cell # in the ad. . 95% of the responses I got on craigslist were scammers wanting to send me a certified check to rent my place for a week. I took the first one seriously he and he actually sent me a fake certified check but by the time I got it I was on to the scam and knew how the game works (they send the check and expect you will deposit it - then immediately contact you to wire them back part of the money since they purposely sent you a check for more than the agreed upon amount). So tonight I actually got a call from the scammer who sent me the check - could barely understand him and his # said "restricted" on  my phone ID. He said he was calling from the UK and wanted to know why I hadn't wired him the $ and I hung up on him. An hour later I got the apple bundle text on my phone. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Is anyone (like Craigslist?) doing anything about this?  I think it's giving Craigs list a bad name!

Thanks for everyone's input, I got same messages tonight on my phone and I have also used craigslist. Its truly someone with nothing better to do than to spam everyone's phones numbers!

Also received this message as a text from (647) 778-4371

Got text this evening "You are a pending winner of an Apple Bundle including iPad2, iPhone4S, or MacBook Air! register to claim your prize now at claim.applebundle.org.  I have a current ad on Craigslist.  The number is a Canadian number, somewhere near Toronto.  I'm guessing that to claim the prize you have to give some personal info.  I plan to report the number.
