I remember years ago, at a startup, we had a person complaining that they were getting SMSs from us several times a day. It turned out that we had a test that wasn't properly mocked, it also used a 'fake' number which was actually a real person (should always use 555 numbers in tests). So every time the tests were run, this user would get an SMS similar to what you are getting.

Reminds of me a "spa confirmation" I got to my email a few weeks back from a spa 3,000+ miles from me. We called to clarify and they embarrassingly admitted that they used our email address, assuming it wasn't a legit address. The funny part is my email address is not generic like testguy@gmail.com. It was an amusing call.
