Text message from ".IR" insists I have mail waiting for me From Iranian gov (I'm a US citizen.)

I keep receiving a vague text on my cell ph.
Can anybody help explain it?

it reads:

"POSTMASTER@hrcloud.ir"
"(Message Delivery Delay)
"MailEnable:
"Message delivery has been delayed.
"Message is waiting at hrcloud.ir for delivery to [address of a ATT server]
.
"The message w" (end of message)

Welcome to Android Central! That sounds extremely fake -- I can smell the malware from here. I'd block that number.

It's probably scammers/phishers looking to rob you of you're hard earned dough, just block thenumber and report i I'de also recommend an application such as mr. nummbers, configured so that only those on you;re contacts list/address book can get through.

There is a good chance that a spammer is using your phone number as the "from" address in the spam run. This looks like a normal email admin status report after it runs through a email-to-SMS gateway.
