GRRRRRRRR!!!!!  cussing Hammer boxing tongue2 fired spam


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  pottytrain 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...

Watch out.. even if you don't read them, you still are charged for them, I know as I tried just deleting them without reading and I was still charged.

The other night my son had three in the middle of the night and very early morning from a company.  I know his number has not been given out for anything on web sites etc.  I think it stinks that phone companies are allowed to sell your cell phone number for their profit and also make a profit off of us for charging for the minutes.  That is the only way they could have gotten his.  Talk about customer service going out the window.
