Received a Spam unsolicited TEXT from 218-228-1067 directing me to a website URL soliciting for auto loans (automatch.2myurls.com). They had my full name and address also! I tried calling the phone number and it said the phone number was disconnected. I tried texting STOP to the phone number and received a message saying the phone number was either an invalid mobile number or the number could not be reached.
Link in the text was from http://jeajek.org/...

AutoMatch is repeatedly spamvertised by the chickenboners who send these unwanted texts. The sending number might well be spoofed, hence your inability to tell them to stop. I wouldn't even attempt that, because if anyone did receive your message, they'd probably just see it as confirming a "live" number to send more garbage to, and/or sell to other chickenboners. And "2myurls" should either be blown off the Internet for enabling these scumbags, or at least be blocked from using ".org" in the spamvertised short URLs, Report the texts to the FTC and FCC, and hope they can out a stop to it. (Even if much of the garbage actually originates outside the US.) Maybe someday we'll have the technology to see where spam calls and texts are really coming from, and then the regulatory agencies can finally put a stop to it.
I receive hundreds of these same types of spam text from this same automatch (used a short-url expander to find out where the link pointed); however, every one has a different "From" telephone number.
Worse thing here - NONE of the spam texts are addressed to me - my cellphone number but not the correct person's name so I can only guess that the person that had the number before me had registered it with the site. Funny thing, they have their Facebook account assigned to my cellphone still.... I've contacted the individual several times to update their information, along with Facebook, without any success
ANYWAY ...
I forward every single one to 7726 - if everyone would do so we might see 2myurls eventually blacklisted on the backbone
