Anyone else got an invitation email recently from a "friend" inviting them to sign up for free SMS messages at https://www.sms.ac?

DELETE IT! Notwithstanding the fact that if you sign up to *receive* any SMS messages from them, they will fleece you, as soon as you sign up, it will also spam the contacts in your address book (I think it's the Hotmail address book it uses, but I could be wrong) with the same invitation message which you received.

Avoid like the plague!

  • Yea I had the same problem with this web site, I signed up and then received loads of text spam on my mobile and each time I received them it cost me about 50p a time! They have a cheek! And the most fustrating thing is that you have to text them back to unsubscribe which costs you again!! >:(

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.
