We all know about spam in your e-mail inbox and even crap through the post, but recently I've been getting spam on my phone in the form of text messages!

 

They're either telling me I could get a better mobile contract, I can claim back bank charges (which is weird, since I've never had a bank charge) and even better, dodgy messages from "girls" who want me to call them up for some "rude chat". I'm lucky my other half didn't see that one! Problem is it looked like a proper message, and they're coming from "mobile numbers", like 07596... etc.

 

Is there anyway I can stop these bloody things!?

Phone your provider and report the numbers.

 

Also if you have a PDA/iPhone you can get anti-spam software for your texts :thumb:

i often get ones saying that im entitled to like 5 grand lol, just delete them :)

normally you just text 'stop' to the number they're coming from ...google the number see what results you get
