Handcent links service SMSs to a Facebook contact!!!

Okay, now this is weird!

I use Handcent SMS on my HTC Hero. I have also recently updated to Android 2.1. Recently I have received a couple of service SMS messages from different companies (bank mini-statements, adverts, etc.) which in itself is okay, but Handcent has been linking them to one of my Facebook contacts!

It only happens when I get a SMS from a non-regular phone number or a short number. Its always the same Facebook contact, but I don't have this person as a regular contact in my phone or Google contacts and their phone number is not on their FB profile!

I checked the stock messaging app to make sure it wasn't anything else and that was fine, so it's definitely a Handcent thing.

Anyone else experience this?

For the record, I'm based in Norway on Telenor network.
