Is this a SCAM?

I got this message from your SMS contact number:

When I tried to communicate via SMS with an agent the first time the person talked to me he ask for my address and then for the secret code number y'all say you'll never ask us for...

Is this a SCAM? How are they communicating from your official SMS number?
