Same stuff here, 512 area code.  I called Sprint just now and they told me to send all spam texts to "7726", which will report the spam to their security team and will help with the investigation.  Also spoke with a supervisor who said they are working on the problem and will call me back in about a week to follow up.

Keep getting these also...I fwd a message to 7726 yesterday It didnt work today it did with a reply to send the senders number for security Now I may be confused sometimes but the fwd msg HAD the numberI! I tried again inserting the msg and a note that said the number Now I get the msg from sprint they cannot identify the caller from that number please call customer service...for cryin out loud.

I also got a text to my area code 512 cell phone number from @info3.com. This is the fourth text I've received in the past two days.

Text message. . . not calling it back. . want them to stop.

Same thing as above... This is a scam.  If you have a bank of america card, DO NOT enter it into the phone number in the text message.  Go to Bank of America and check with them in person.

5 texts yesterday and 2 today..... wife getting same..... we are 512-799 and 512-796.  Todays texts were from my54@infos.com and boa89@info3.com.  Maybe I've been watching too many spy movies but cannot someone identify the IP of these "individuals" and send a nice constable or other law enforment individual to have a "chat".....

I'm 512 A/C and have gotten at least 5 such texts in the past 24 hours from:
boa71@infos.com (Good Afternoon...) and
my90@infos3.com. (Good Morning...)

I'm now going to have to buy a Droid app to block.

ANNOYING AS HELL!  At least you had some opportunity to give telemarketers a piece of your mind.

Yep, 512 area code here.  I also have Sprint and have been receiving the calls on my husband's phone, my phone, and my daughter's phone.  Her number isn't given out ANYWHERE which leads me to believe it's sprint related (or possibly facebook, I think her number may be linked to her profile.)

Edie,

 Don't call them back... these are scam calls to try and get your personal/credit card information and they will use it for ripoff purposes.

they must have moved from 512 to 830, because i got one of these texts a few minutes ago.  maybe they're working their way south from austin.  but i'm also a sprint customer.  based on input from others, i'll delete this message and hope i don't get any more.

IF....you have sprint, you can block this text by doing the following:

send a text to 9999
Type: BLOCK 727-216-2029

you will get a confirm text that it is blocked.

Also if you go onto your sprint .com, there are three tabs near the top:
MY ACCOUNT,  MY DEVICE & MEDIA,  MY PREFERENCES

Go to MY PREFERENCES-
Under limits and permissions go to Block Text or Block Voice (or both) and go to you number to block these individual numbers.
It takes 10 digit numbers, 19 digit numbers and even short codes like 4-8 digit text codes AND you can even block the email:  boa217@info9.com!!

Recv'd text boa77@info4.com:  Good Day:  Attention Required.Call. (727)216-2029.  *THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO ME*. I do not bank with Bank of America nor would it be legit for an automated service to call about possible fraudulent use of a card since bank personnel makes those calls personally.

I've gotten 4 or 5 of these as well in the past day or so.  I'm in the 512.
Did anyone else sign up online with USPS recently?  I never get spam to my phone, and that is the only place I've recently listed my digits.

Please, someone, stop these texts!  I get several every day!!!

It seems like the 512 area code is getting hit a lot from this scammer.  I've received about a dozen texts in the past 3 days.  When I call the number from a land line, its just busy.  Apple needs to figure out how to block numbers on iPhones.

NOTE: If you are a SPRINT CUSTOMER - You will need to send individual texts for each one of these spam lines Megan has listed below. You will receive a message back confirming they (Sprint) received the request.

As Megan posted:

Found out an even better way to block these spam emails from your phone and also notify Sprint of the spam.

Text the following to 9999 to block the domains these spammy emails are coming from:
spam infos.com
spam info1.com
spam info2.com
spam info3.com
spam info4.com
spam boa-info.com

Along with any other domain names on emails you might get from these guys.  It takes a few seconds to send, but it will block emails from that domain being sent by text to your phone.  These texts should be free for Sprint customers and would be worth it especially for those who have limited texts.

have gotten several of these texts in the last two days from 727-216-2029, 864-582-5454, & 312-492-4053
with the same "Attention required" message.  I called Bank of America - they took all the information and checked to to assure me that there was no problem with my account - although I do not have a debit card with them, I do have a credit card.  I am in the 512 area I have Sprint & I have an option on my phone to block the sender - still it is a pain.

Megan, thanks for the information.

This Sprint web page shows how to block text messages. I have not tried this yet but I will give it a shot soon as I am also receiving these annoying text messages. Go to:

http://support.sprint.com/support/servicepage

Then enter "Block text" in the search window to display the Sprint support information on how to block text messages from an unwanted sender.
