Mine came from 4438759579 on Jan 11, 2012 from www.atmfastlend.com. Chances are that if you reply, you will be charged some amount (such as $10, maybe more, maybe less) via "Premium Text Messaging" from your cellphone provider. My son replied to a similar scam several months ago, and we were charged $10 to ostensibly stop the messages. According to Verizon, the scam is fully legal, and they get many complaints about it but can't do anything about it. However, you can limit it by turning off all premium messaging services -- the ones that let you send money by texting a message to some number.
BTW, I ignored the message, and haven't gotten another one. Yet.
Got an advertisement text message from this number today. The ad was about borrowing money so I can pay my bills. It mentioned www.atmfastlend.com and also said I could text 'END' to stop the messages. Not sure if I should or not, but I'm going to try it.
