Spam Bank SMSs

I'm sure most of you reading this have received at least one spam bank SMS, or still do. I get them every month. Here is an example: "STHEMBISO, leave a legacy of caring with Life Cover payouts of up to R10m from FRANK.NET (FSP 40948) Reply YES for a quote today or STOP to opt out."
First of all, I am not "STHEMBISO".  Secondly who is "STHEMBISO" and why did he register to a bank using my number? Also, I'm not STUPID, I'm not going to reply to them. Even if you add your number to the list of "no spam SMS" numbers, they still do it!
