Be warned if you receive a text from Push Message, firstly you've just been charged to receive this text, senondly you cannot reply to say STOP.
checking the net, the link in the text take you to the next to view, p0rn.
the company behind this is Switchfire, 0870 6093042, or say no to 0870... 02077982800.
there is a code 61115 you can text but it must say STOP ALL (yes in caps)
but be warned they may start again in a few weeks, watchdog have had dealings with them in the past and it looks like they are at it again.
I've had 2 of these messages this week, i'm no prude, but i also didn't ask for these texts

Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?

receiving one of these from a woman offering what they offer didn't quite do it for me seeing as I'm female and prefer guys.Wow, I got 3 *, when did that happen :j:T:p
It is not illegal to open another persons mail unless you intend to commit fraud - this is frequently incorrectly posted

Switchfire are a UK company, and they also have an office in Austrailia, they do a lot of the text and chat services and there are times that they occasionally send out texts to numbers that are not subscribed to them, they don't go out looking for people to spam. Out of the thousands of texts they send out each day, the few they hit in error are a very tiny amount.0
