'So says one account holder, Gabriel Lewis, who tweeted that Facebook texted "spam" to the phone number he submitted for the purposes of 2-factor authentication. '
'According to Lewis, he signed up for 2FA on Dec. 17 and the alleged spamming began on Jan. 5. '
'One Facebook user says he accidentally told "friends and family to go [to] hell" when he "replied to the spam."'
'What's more, when he replied "stop" and "DO NOT TEXT ME," he says those message showed up on his Facebook wall. '
'Lewis explained his version of the story to Mashable via Twitter direct message."[Recently] I decided to sign up for 2FA on all of my accounts including FaceBook, shortly afterwards they started sending me notifications from the same phone number. '
