It’s a scam. If you reply they will ask you for a credit card number or bank account number to pay for shipping and handling and insurance. They will spend all of the money in the account. They will never send you a gift card. If you visit the website in the message it will download spyware and viruses and heaven knows what else.
Delete the message. Do not reply to it. Do not visit the website in the message.

If you are on AT&T forward the text to SPAM. AT&T will then ask you to message them the phone number it originated from. This will block that number from texting you again and will also start an investigation on the number. Delete the tex, do not reply or call the number. If you go on the site, you are giving them access to your computer, where they are planting Trojan and worm programs which are steeling your personal information. Put an end to these opportunists, starting with your cell carrier. They have to report this to the FCC. Don't be a victim!
