Strange mobile phone message.?

Hi

I've also received 2 of these messages within the last hour, so just now I phoned up three customer services.

They said that it was a spam message sent to their customers by a company called various with 3 as the sender. You should ignore the message and not reply to it.

Hope this helps you too

Well 2 days on im not too bothered about the texts anymore... what I'm worried about is how this person was able to get hold of the whole database of 3 customer information.

I received exactly the sames 2 messages a few hours ago , I realised it was a phishing scam straight away although I called three to let them know of the scam, they were aware of it and confirmed so by telling me the number which is suggested to reply to, 81456. So dont worry about it nor should you reply to it, I found this article about the scam.

URGENT !!! if someone suggests you send the word STOP do not. >>> Do Not reply to this at all. You can call the telephone preference service on 0845 0700707 and the silent call service on 0870 4443969 it is free to register and will stop 99% or more of this. You can call from a landline which is cheaper. Also give Ofcom a call on Tuesday on 0845 4563000 and report this and they will give you a reference no. and investigate. You can register online with the first two i have mentioned.

I work for TMobile USA

and that happens a lot here. It sort of a scam. What it is a pay-for-content company that will bill you, generally monthly for content you probably dont want.

If anyone has made the mistake of already getting into one of these things, text STOP (in caps) to the same number you started with, or in reply to your latest content message, and it will opt you out.

Hope that helps!

Please choose best answer if you think mine was!

I thought it was an inside job until i saw a posting saying they got the message on o2.

Report it to www.phonepayplus.org.uk, if enough people make the same complaint they will hopefully put a stop to the scam

Ignore and delete message. Replying to this could cost you money, lots of it.

I have and I have just ignored the text msgs and deleted them. I rang o2 when i got it and they just told me to reply stop or ignore it

if in doubt,ignore it,if its real,you will be cut off,just go out and get another phone,cause you WILL get a better deal than you are on just now.,either way you cant lose!

It's junk, delete it.
