Effing debt texts
Discussion
This week I have had 3 messages from the number +447543935294 which, other than the quote marks I've added, reads exactly as follows:-
"Wipe off your debts!: Begin your application today too and start wiping off debt with a new Government Settlement Order, reply YES to find out more otherwise no"
When I got the first one I ignored it, even though because I was out of the Counrty it cost me 11p.
When I got the second one I replied "no" as i was still out the Country and was getting fed up of it.
Now I have just had it again and i'm getting pissed off! Anyone know who is sending these so I can call/e-mail/throw a can of Red Bull at them to stop these annoying spam texts? Obviously you will see i have tried the "no" 'option' but they don't seem to be listening to that...
TIA

I think you need to reply with "STOP" not "no".
I hear what you are saying but i think that the command to preven further messages is whatever they want to make it, not a generic like "STOP" ie it could be "Wibble".I'll go with giving Vodafone a call tonight. I need to talk to them anyway.
Cheers.

Erm, call them and find out???The spam will stop because text spams have to be the most expensive form of advertising ever.

that was my thought. I'm going to end up having to pay to stop them and that bugs me as much as the waste of ink and paper faxes we get at work all the time...Will be calling Vodafone today to get the number blocked though. I would happily ignore them but given that I've had 4 in the last couple of months (I had one a few months ago which the o/h reminded me about) and that I spend a bit of time out of the country I really resent having to pay roaming charges to get texts I don't want, need and have not asked for.
The gits

I just had an effing debt call
An automated man said "hello, this is not a sales call, this is a public service announcment" which peaked my interest.
Followed by "If you are suffering from debt"
At which point I laughed and hung up.
WTF. How is that a public service announcement? Presumably, they are giving you free money, if it's a public service and not a sales call from a profit-making business. If you have time, have fun with them.An automated man said "hello, this is not a sales call, this is a public service announcment" which peaked my interest.
