This number is a mass text SMISHING scheme (SMS phising). It states that you have won a Best Buy gift card or in some cases, a Walmart giftcard. Obviously, not the case. It directs you to go to www.freegiftdirect.com, a website which basically will add a bunch of spyware to your computer and of course you will have to enter personal information to receive your prize. I have no completed the information because I was fully aware of the scam. I am sure you will have to complete your offer and not receive your gift. Be very careful when receiving messages such as this! I have never received an SMS message from a company or contest that had a direct phone number. It has always been something such as 40404 (Twitter) 222999 (Sweepstakes) 69877 (UPS) and 9489 (My cell phone provider)
