Just leave it, if they are legit I'm sure they'll track you through the electoral register.0

To further add to what chutzpah said you really should just delete any non personal texts. Legit companies should not be using such an unproffesional approach. I never accept texts relating to business unless I have already had contact with them and english is not a primary language, all others call or get ignored.
Perhaps i'm getting old and this is the new way though?:staradmin5k - 00:27:46:staradmin 10k - 00:57.03:staradminHalf - 02:01:15:staradmin5M - 00:44:07:staradmin0 -
This scam seems to be on the move again: I got a text just like this today. I have looked up some references to it and it seems certain that it is a scam. I have no outstanding debts.
