Spam SMS

I woke up this morning and looked at my iPhone and saw I received
a SMS message. Usually it's an IM that is forwarded to my phone.
But no it was not a forwarded IM. This SMS message was the same one I
received last month. "Are you looking for the perfect gift?". Then
it leaves a URL in the SMS. I went to the URL stated in the SMS. I
can buy prestige replica watches. Just the kind of "perfect gift" I
would want to give someone.
I got rid of using a landline and now I don't get telemarketing
calls. I have a family e-mail address and business e-mail address.
Nobody can e-mail my family address unless they are in my address
book. And I expect to get spam mail in the business e-mail inbox. I
do not want Spam SMS too.
And when you click on the "Contact Us" link on the web site they just
offer a e-mail form to fill out and submit. And no phone number of
any kind on this web site.
So, if this is happening to any of you please let me know. And in the
meantime I'll wait for my next "perfect gift" SMS. Until next time,
keep your cell phone charged.
