Fake IMessage?

A Friend of mine was showing me a screen shot of a imessage conversation that was sent to her. I noticed the message conversation looked weird. In the attached photo the iMessage has To: Alexis the blue text is the sender sending the original message and the grey response is Alexis. Why doesn't Alexis name appear at the top where it says "New iMessage"and why does it also say "Cancel". The only time the To: field shows is when you initiate a text, but once you push send the receivers name or phone number goes to the top (where "New iMessage" is located) And there is no cancel. Am I right, that this is a fake text conversation? I've hear of apps that let you make fake text messages.
