It's a text message spammer.
Do a search for the phone number on Google and you'll get a few links eg.

Thanks. Had a look at your link. With me it is just one business saying they have a sale, Not looking for my details or anything . Would the business be in on it? I had thought maybe google was sending ads on their behalf to all gmail numbers
