I received a text message yesterday, the envelope icon in the notification tray is there but when I open the notification to view message it opens into a blank text message template. When I open my messages from the home screen, I do not see the text that was sent,  I know this because in the notification tray it includes the first few words of the message and I looked for it in my message inbox and its NOT there.

Not only is it annoying to have a phantom text message notification, but I'm concerned it could be a virus or worm. Help please?! I dont want to have to reset my phone.
