Warning - Text message from Promiseloans.com

I received an uninvited text message a couple of days ago from a company called Promiseloans.com, their website is here http://www.promiseloans.com/ . I have no idea where they got my mobile number from but I enter a few comps so they could have got it from there. It said I had to text 'stop' to a number to stop receiving texts from them.
The first text took £3.00 off my phone credit and the next text telling them to stop took another £3.00 off my credit. I'm so mad. I'd never get another loan so I'm mad that they presume I would be interested in such an offer and mad that they would charge me for the info.

This is illegal. Contact your phone provider and DO NOT get off the phone until they refund it as a goodwill gesture. They will prattle on about how it's nothing to do with them (which it isnt) by they will refund if you complain enough. Then speak to http://www.icstis.org.uk/ to get these fu ckers.Debt as at 12th July 2006 - £61,345 :eek: :eek: :eek:
