GRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Watch out if you have a cell phone. Text message spam is headed your way, even if you don't give the # out to anyone other than family or doctors (like me). I have received several so far, some really ikky ones

and some for refinancing a mortgage, which I do not even have. Bad part about it is they cost me $0.15 each to receive!
Good news is it isn't hard to stop them, provided that you don't really text message. One call to Verizon (the best customer service experience I have ever had with them, BTW) and they blocked my phone from sending or receiving them.
Be careful all, if some scumbag goes on a text spamming rampage, you could end up with a big bill, or with all your text credits used up...
