just got the text "Official Notice: Call 8002461688 now to claim your $20 Visa Gift Card for trying Great Fun! Coupon Code 5345. Keep Prize txt alrt acct active.txt stop 2 end"

finished submitting an FCC complaint with all the details provided here

Got a text from short code 98019 saying I'd won like $20 or whatever. I used to work for a cell company doing customer service and we used to deal with this crap all the time. Short code messages, especially those that are unsolicited are ALWAYS a scam. Usually if you text the word "Stop" you'll stop receiving the messages but I'm wary to do that here as it sounds like you just start getting the messages from another code instead. I'll wait and see if I get another text from the code. If it continues I'll text stop and report the results here.

Got the $20 Visa one today. What worries me is if they got the number from somewhere or if they're just batch texting cell prefixes.

Got the text message from 98019 "Official Notice: Call 8002640947 now 2reserve your $20 Visa Gift Card for trying a service! Coupon Code 5345. Keep DsiteQ txt alrt acct active.txt stop 2 end".Looking at the text I am sure it is a scam... where can I put a complain about this...and are these complains ever looked into and the scamsters punished?

I THINK WE ALL NEED TO CALL THE NUMBER ALOT AND GIVE FAKE INFO.  JUST TO TIE UP THERE LINES AND TIME.  SEE HOW THEY LIKE IT.

Call 800-264-0947 to receive free $20 gift card......SCAM!!

Call 800-264-0947 to receive free $20 gift card......SCAM!!

Got:Official Reward Notice: Call 800-260-8375 now for 1000 FREE music downloads w/Gift Code 2325! Keep music txt alrts activ.txt stop to end.

I'm not sure if this was sent to my Google Voice or my cell #, but most likely was my cell.  I NEVER give it to anyone that isn't a blood relation.  So I'm certain it's some sort of scam.

I just got this text except if was for $1000 of music downloads... yay...

Today I received a text from 98019.  The following is the text of the message:

Official Reward Notice: Call 8002608375 now for 1000 FREE music downloads w/ Gift Code 2325! Keep Game txt alrts active.txt stop 2end.

Just because I don't trust this, I'm not even going to respond, especially after reading some of the posts here that say they will try to ding the mobile account for some charge.

I think its associated to a free ipod or android app that lets you text for free cause it gives you a free phone number so you can text others. Im thinking whoever gets text with the free number or all the contacts in that free app get sold or handed over to the 800 number for spam. Im getting text too saying to call 8002455651 for 200 dollars in free music downloads.

Here is the variant of the SMS Spam Marketing ploy:

Official Reward Notice: Call 8002880042 Now for Imporatnt Claim Information! Keep Reciept txt act activate.txt stop 2 end

Eligible to recieve 1000 of the Hotest Music Downloads from Free Music Connection and $20 Visa Gift Card.

It is indeed a SCAM of SPAM!!!

I just recd "official reward notice.  call 8002878875 now for important claim information.  Keep music txt act active.txt STOP to end."

I sent a STOP txt msg to them and recvd a response that I will recv no further messages from then.  Then gave another number 8663098187 for questions. hummmmmm

lets see what happens....
