    Mobile phones... creepy messages?

    So, I have a samsung Shit-Ass phone from metro PoS... http://images.intomobile.com/wp-cont...msung-r410.jpg

    I just received some weird messages, and I was curious as to what they mean. My phone started ringing, like I was receiving a call. When I went to check the caller ID, it was blocked by a white rectangle that said "Ignatieff D". When I answered, the box went away, but it kept ringing. It happened 30 seconds later, with the message "Gilcrease Joy". Is this some kind of code meant to explode my brain? Just wondering if anyone has an explanation.

    Reminds me a joke I played on a friend by sending weird messages. Later, I claimed to be an alien. It was a fuuuun fun night. He probably didn't buy it but it creeped him out.

    That said, its probably a random crap. Can always contact customer service.

    Those are names I think.
    Gilcrease joy sounds like a badly written "Increased gil, <joy> ", type message.

    Ghetto pcs also sends you a txt msg when you use the 411 service. Because they discontinue service asap on 1 day overdue, there is a tendency to get lots of wrong numbers and text msgs.
    Some dude's boss kept calling me at 7 am wondering where his employee was and why he was not at some construction site. It was interesting hearing the progression of messages as he got more and more pissed off. I almost called but did not feel like trying to argue in case he did not believe me.

    In general though, lots of odd calls and txt msges with ghetto pcs.
