When we contacted the numbers (using a phonecard) some lines were busy, disconnected, drops after answering, answered (automated attendant) and requested financial information.
Please note that some phone systems are able to read phone numbers that are blocked using features such as *67 so if you decide to call any of the numbers above out of curiosity, do not use your cell phone as you will put yourself at risk to receive more text messages or have your land line number used for Caller ID spoofing.
Also, your cell phone provider may think twice in issuing you a text message credit should you do so.
