I just got a text message on my phone that says:

"Message From Base:

Kyle: Your mission is to find out who killed the government. Good luck.

(Reply w/your msg, or reply MENU for options)"

So I texted back saying "Who is this?", to which I received:

"Message from Base:

Kyle, maintain radio silence! This line is being tapped!"

The number is 60611002. So that's one more number than a normal number.

Anybody have any idea what's happening? haha

EDIT:

Apparently this is from an iPod Touch application that allows people to text anonymously.

So yeah. Lock/delete?

I wish it didn't say "Reply with msg or MENU for more options" at the end of every text.

Oops! That message may have cost you a few quid - I'd check if I were you.

Basically, don't ever reply to those kind of things, and never call back when someone phones you and it rings off after one of two rings.

You have been disavowed for allowing secret number in the open.
Do not try to respond. We will deny all knowledge.

Good luck.

End of message.

Kyle: all your text are belong to us.

Just yesterday I received a text saying:

Quote: "FRM: [email protected]
SUBJ: banksterling
MSG: Dear Bank member, we are informing you that your online services are expired. To renew the services call us at the toll free number 8023270083."


Apparently, it is a credit card scam
Scam notice is at Bank's website http://www.banksterling.com/privacy/pr_fraudalert.asp

Be careful out there peeps.

Right. I probably shouldn't have texted back, but it turned out to just be my friend. haha

Hah, I didn't see them 10 years ago, but I know what your talking about. I read a very good non-fiction novel that was sort of a biography of him. It was really good

EDIT:

His business card is great
