Default HELP! I keep getting random text messages...

I keep getting random text messages from strangers saying that I'm sending them pics or whatever... One number actually called me! I just got another text message saying "Hes so cute" . What the heck is going on?

Thanks for posting this! I'm having the same problem and just came on here to post about it myself.

Someone texted me and asked "who is this?" and I was like "You texted me, who are you?" and they told me that I sent them a picture of a snowman???

edit: I should also add that the apparent "snowman" message sent from my number is NOT in my outbox and my phone has been with me all day so I know that none of my friends grabbed my phone and sent a random text to mess with me

Makes me think twice about the security of this phone.

lol that's some freaky azz sh!t...

I would save their numbers and send it straight to voicemail in case they'd ever call again.

But my first option would be call T-Mobile to have them block it. Say they are harrassing you.

Still freaky but yeah probably your number is on a wall. Shiz never happened to me. So freaky!

Yea, I just installed chompsms the other day, savemms, and scoreboard. I highly doubt scoreboard causing it, but I'm concerned about chompsms, which would suck because its an amazing text app.
