Is it possible that some service is allowing someone who is NOT the owner of 77088 to send SMS messages pretending to be 77088? Did someone get into Amazon's account or 3rd party account?
Amazon's Simple Notification Service lets you send SMS from a short code. The registration process is fairly complex and the code costs $1000/mo but it can be worth it if your company is big enough and does a lot of B2C. My guess is that someone broke into the account of the AWS customer that actually uses code 77088. R's, John
