in Praise, vent & warnings
I got a text on my mobile from 61610 saying:


"Hi babe its Jordan, how r u? I am just back from my travels, I am bored and would love to chat xxx"

SP visionsms.com
Text stop to stop
Cost 150p 0871 240 0603

So it will cost me £1.50 to stop it? I NEVER give my number to anyone that I don't know and don't want any more of these - has anyone else had one?

I'm going to call that number now & see what they say! I've been signed up for the TPS thing for months!
nothing to see here, move along...

    For heavens sake, don't try the number. Do you pay to receive texts?

    Just ignore it. It's probably a text sent to random numbers.

    And Adventive is Mr Th* and the folks from the Danish Con Crew, doing their business all over Europe for at least 7 years - ignored or "escorted" by the regulation authorities, by the police, by the politicians - for the sake of the companies that get paid for the ads or paid for the PRNs. The "danish deals" in Hamburg are not forgotten and the "Godfather of Dialler Fraud" is happy on Mallorca... Mallorca, well, there was a business meeting there ast week. Among the attendees was Mr Jens H* from IBC/MBS/TBS. They feel good and they have all reason to feel good... The regulators and the police and the politicians should be ashamed but never will.
    ICSTIS has to explain if they know about Nova and about Adventive and about all the danish companies that are not rotten apples but a fix part of the PR business. For years, for bloody long years worth millions and millions of pounds, Euros and Deutschmarks...
