Got a strange text this morning that doesn't make sense.
I put the key words into Google and there is some discussion on the subject.
One person had the message, word for word, which is....."Dear [MY REAL FIRST NAME] Thank you for writing to Barclays, we are dealing with your request, and will respond within 5 working days.
Had 2 Diff calls yesterday from "ppi" T0ssers in Manchester,0161, cut them both off, checked their number on the web, many complaints made about them, passed on the info to T.P.S.

Some scammers send text messages in the hope that the mark replies or calls back. Of course it's premium rate service that the fraudster owns. How they got your number and name is impossible to say but not that difficult.
