Cell Phone Text Messaging Spam?

So 2 days ago I get this text message:


(FWD: Beta Den B4) A good friend is 1 who walks n when da rest of da world walks out. Send to your friends and c who sends it bac!




Thought nothing of it. Then today I get:


"I need your help im in big trouble. Call this #, do not call my phone back or anybody else. Call ###-###-####Hurry"




What the hell is this?

What carrier do you have? I say go to your carrier's web site and send tons of messages to that phone (if the message was sent from a phone) via computer. They'll get dinged for the charges and it costs you nothing except some time.
