Received this text message "Hey, not sure if you or anyone you know still smokes. But www.nosmoke44.com is giving away free e-cig trials. -Joe"
I do not know any Joe that could possibly have my new number. I would strongly recommend NOT responding to the text or visiting the website... It's a BIG RED FLAG for spam.
I got the same message, only the website was www.smoke55.com. They knew my name and they said their name was Frank. I don't know anyone named Frank. Definitely spam.
Forward the text to 7726. It will be blocked by your carrier and investigated by Cloudmark:
Security company Cloudmark created a spam messaging reporting service that nation’s major wireless carriers agreed earlier this year to start using. Now, customers of AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and others can forward their text spam message to 7726. The mobile phone carrier will ask customers for the phone number that’s linked to the spam message so they and Cloudmark can start investigating.
