I have a car for sale and I keep getting these text messages telling me to email them about my car.

The thing is, when they send it when it comes up with their name even though I've not got it storred in my phone? And is it likely that they'll just end up sending me a virus if I email them?

I can send you a text that will come up in your phone as David Beckham.

Companies use it to come accross more professional being their company name not a stupid +44845638391 kinda number.

I would ignore them btw, they're probably not genuine.

Pretty sure your name shows up on the recipient's phone if you text from Skype.
