Facebook sending SMS messages about unathorized access?

I am receiving text messages from the number 32665 that say the following:

----
"my phone" logged into your Facebook account (Today at 7:00am). If this wasn't authorized, check your email for instructions.
----

Of course there are no further details in e-mail.

I have had Facebook on my phone for roughly a month or two, but just started received these text messages in the last couple of days. I changed my password just in case, but am still receiving these messages.

Are they legit? What's going on?

So I went to the menu option, and it doesn't appear I have signed up for mobile alerts. No phones are registered, and the only option is to Register for Facbook Text Messages. I will have to look at the phone app.

I would categorize it as spam and block it, except it appears the number 32665 is the legitimate Facebook number?

Thank you for the links. I turned on Login Approvals, and reset the login for my mobile app, so I'll give it a day here and see what happens. I've been consistently receiving the text messages several times a day.

I changed the password, turned on Login Approvals, and I haven't had any of the same text messages over the last day.
