Who the hell is this text from?

I just got a random text from the number: 66937

It says

"Justin Bieber: is havin a blast on tour. Have u come 2 a show yet? Tell JB 1.404.665.3410

Somebody to love remix ft Usher out now! Buy -website url here-"

What the fuck? Anyone know where this text came from?

J. to the Beebz wants you to give HIM a blast on his tour! ;D

Some companies get ahold of your information and send you texts in the hopes of luring you into a buy of some sort. Best you can do is send that short-code "QUIT", "STOP", or "HELP" to find more info.

EDIT: Google Search turns up:
- It stands for "Mozes".
- It's related to product promotion - just as I predicted.
- And here's its site.

True. And (shockingly) many (trusted) companies give it (your information) out happily (for cash).

I doubt it. The military allowed access to Facebook, Youtube, etc. on their computers a couple months ago. I remember them being in talks when after Facebook got hacked or the issue was raised that it had the potential of being hacked. Anyways, to make a long story short, the military is most likely giving Facebook cyber security and/or money in exchange for information. What type of information? Profiling, which Facebook would function for in-depth profiling such as people's spheres of influence etc..

It is very plausible.

That wasn't the article I was really looking for, there was one that specifically detailed that Facebook got in trouble over giving private information to third-party advertisers. But I couldn't locate it because Facebook is in so many news articles.
