Received a text message from this number:
"hey _______ ! This is Jen. Plz add my yah00 so we can chat a bit, its: deniablemaddison"

I've seen reports of identical messages (with changed _____ names) coming from several other numbers, so this is apparently not new.  Disappointed that my real name was included in this message.  Someone has obviously sold my phone number...

Yep. I had almost the exact same text message sent to me (using my name in the greeting), only "Jen" wanted me to add her on Skype Messenger this time "so we can chat", and the messenger name was "judy.zimmermane". [***].

Just got a message from 607-323-4125 that said " hows it goin ______ ! This is Jen. Please add me on Skyype msgr so we can talk a bit, its: Babbum8"

Where the hell are these generating from???
