I received the "If you would like to receive a $50.00 rerward and up to 20% off your Gas & Electric Bills GUARANTEED!!!! Simply reply "YES"...Thank You" text message
I also just got a text message from this number that says, "If you would like to recieve a GUARANTEED SAVINGS on your GAS & ELECTRIC simply reply "YES"...THANK YOU!!!!"
I find this offensive on a number of levels. a) I don't know who it is, or how they got my phone number. b) They spelled "receive" incorrectly. c) They preceded "guaranteed savings" with "a," and call me crazy - but last I checked, "savings" was plural and not singular. d) Including four exclamation marks at the end of a text message is rarely appropriate. Unless you are in middle school.
I too just got this same text message. Apparently our numbers are released through a 3rd party, or this person is randomly sending out to any number they choose. I'm in the NY Metro Area... and the 347 area code is also for the NYC area.
