Fake Full-Screen Message Notification

Does any one else get fake messages like a "flash SMS" that takes over your whole screen? They do not wind up showing in the Messages App, and I have not been able to grab a screenshot yet. I get them every day or 2. There's a place at the bottom that says "Why am I getting this message" but I'm afraid to click it for someone to steal my info. Any thoughts?

Report the problem to your carrier. Flash SMS messages are illegal outside of specific circumstances.
