SPAM TXT Message Sunshine Hols
I received the following on my mobile the other day.
"Free Msg. U have joined the Sunshine quiz for 150p per week until you send STOP to 85122. Helpline 08704050406. 2 get ur holiday send a SAE to PO Box 113, Bray , Ireland."
I have no knowledge of this company. Surely they can't really charge me 150p per week when I haven't authorised it in any way?
Is this a randomly sent text? In which case I suppose I ought not to send STOP as it suggests.
Any advice would be welcome.
