SCAM with SPAM - protect yourself from more thieves

I found out from a friend about a text message his wife received on her phone. It was for a daily horoscope texted to you. Since they know that you will most likely delete it, because it is unsolicited by you, they simply use the delete of the message as an "opt-in." So at $4.99 a text minimum of 1 per day, could be as many as 4 or more, your cell phone bill is charged and are expected to pay it. This is illegal, at least it should be!! The cell company, who shall remain nameless due to giving them a chance to honor the request to have the charges removed, said that they could not promise anything but would try to have them removed. Say you send out 1000 of these messages to unsuspecting, less than average text users, you just made aproximately $5000, easily sending thousands per day!! Robbery!!! Illegal!!!

So if you get a text similar to what I described below research it and let your cell company know that if they honor the charge that you will look elsewhere for service. If it happens to me I will tell you now that if they are teaming up with crooks and letting this happen to loyal customers, I won't be paying the charges, just my basic cell bill, not a penny more.

click the link and read the print at the bottom, read the terms and conditions..You will see the "OR SELECTING THE YES OPTION WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD ANY MATERIAL FROM LoveSoulMate.net AND AFFILIATED SITES, YOU ARE INDICATING THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS." It gives very specific actions to take to not be charged again. How many people are going to know that ahead of time, when they get the text and delete it without sending the STOP message? That is what they are counting on and getting rich off of unsuspecting victims! Besides, how these idiots actually know who your soulmate is? And doing this service intentionally does not show very many active brain cells on your part.

Spread the word!
