I just got a text message advertising diet pills also. It cost me $0.15. Granted that is not a lot of money, but why should I pay for someone to send me unwanted advertisements?
I just called AT&T (my carrier). They told me the number is an AT&T customer. Other than that they basically told me to jump in a lake and they could care less what the other customer was doing as long as they paid their bill.
Just received the same text a few minutes ago. Traces to a cell phone in Miami, FL. Didn't feel like paying the $39.95 extortion fee to find out the person's name but if anyone has a way to trace it I'd love to know about it. Never got a text like this before and it should be illegal.
Received a text message from this number at 12:30AM! It woke me up! These telemarketing companies are really getting out of control and my number is on the do not call list.
