I got 2 msgs from these scum bags tonight... one right after I told them to leave me alone... SO do not reply to these... just forward them to the number below...
My Version Rep. told me tonight that these SMS messages can charge your account... simply when you receive the text message... you do not have to even open the txt... Check your monthly bill and if you have extra charges report it to your carrier... They should reverse the charge. My Version Customer Service Rep. has reversed 12 of these spams tonight alone. She said recently one teenager got over $60.00 in extra SMS fees...
Here is want Walmart has to say:
March 9, 2012 -- There has been a sudden increase in scam text messages referring people to a site where they can “claim a Walmart Gift Card” by entering certain private personal information. These attacks that take place through SMS text message technologies to personal mobile phones are scams and are in no way sponsored by or affiliated with Walmart.
How to Report Text Message SPAM
The major mobile carriers in North America are actively trying to stop text spammers and fraudsters. If you receive a SPAM or fraudulent text message on your mobile phone, forward that text to the shortcode 7726 (which spells "SPAM"). (A shortcode is a telephone number which is much shorter than a full telephone number.) In the United States, any texting campaign that uses a shortcode has to obey strict rules. One of those rules is that if you reply "stop" to any message that came from a shortcode, it has to stop sending you messages.
