As noted, the "You have reached (insert phone number here). Leave a message at the tone" is the standard default message on many message machines. If buy a new machine and don't make your own message, that message is automatically used. You message must have been accidentally reset to it. Especially with age and use, message machines can wear out and act goofy-- cut messages short, etc.

My message was once changed from my self recorded message. Ultimately I determined that it was the jack-boot thugs that hover over my house in their stealth helicopter. I don't know why they changed it, but they did.
