Did you try a web search?

Receiving unknown calls can be frustrating SlyviaPlatt. I regret we do not have access to locate numbers and find who the number is registered to. Are you receiving text messages or phone calls from this number?

@MichelleS_VZW vzw_customer_support​ That response is disconcerting/unfortunate since searching for 000-000-6245 shows numerous references to Verizon possibly using this number.  Can you escalate to your Technical Support to investigate?

It is a Sex Site Chat Room. They notify their clinets when they are

online or vice-versa. Husband spends 24/7 at this site.

It may be that site that is sending text messages but the number 000-000-6245 is not tied to that site.  I sent myself text messages from the Verizon web site and that number sporadically shows up.  I still think it is related to the Verizon handling of text messages (maybe replicating them to other devices on the account) and recording an internal message instead of suppressing it.

You mentioned replicating messages from another device! Did you mean if you have two cells on one account, one of them could have the other's messages duplicated to their cell to see what is being texted from the other cell on the account??

Thanks

When I said 'replicating', I was referring to Verizon's Integrated Messaging where you can have multiple devices (tablet, phone, desktop) logged into the same phone number profile login.  The Integrated Messaging, replicates the messages to all devices logged in to the same profile login.

SylviaPlatt, receiving unwanted texts is absolutely a valid concern. The good news is we do offer the option to block spam text for free so you can have peace of mind going forward. You can find more information regarding this at the below resource. https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/safeguards/SafeguardProductDetails.action?productName=i...

If someone sends a text to a Verizon Messaging subscriber via email at number@vtext.com or sending a text from the Messaging+ app/service to an email address, 000-000-6245 (6245=MAIL) shows up in the text log as the To/From address.  This default number is used/inserted by the gateway between the Messaging server and the internet.  It's too bad the originating/terminating email address is not used for identification purposes.

Report it as spam by forwarding it to 7726 (which spells SPAM on the dialer).

I just did a test text from my email account to 'mynumber'@vtext.com and it hit my phone from 6245.   6245 on the keypad spells MAIL.  Someone/something is sending the text from an email client to your number at vtext.com.  When using Android Auto to read the text to me, it has the originating email address that sent the text in the header.

 

When I looked at the Message Info in Integrated Message+ on my desktop it shows the sending email address.

clicking on a link in a suspicious text or email is just asking for trouble.  That's exactly what the spammers/phishers/hackers want you to do so they can embed some code on your device to hack you.
