I keep getting texts~'you could claim £20,00 compensation'. Text this number?

Hello13_2

Yeah, then they ask you to text a number to stop messages. I want to stop getting the messages but wont they charge me for communicating with them? Also, why should I stop something I never started or subscribed to in the first place?
:money:

If they get a response they know the number is live and it will be sold on. Just delete them.

I think I receive about 3-4 per week.

Just have to be more careful who we share our information with I guess .

my wife crashed the car a few months ago, and i had to give several people my number for contact, the garage that recovered the car/ curtesy car/ hirecar/ all done through my insurance company, i started getting these texts about one a month since, a friend told me that people get money from selling on your number, dont know how true this is but it made me wonder, the texts did say something like you could get x amount of money from your accident,

I got one the other day on an old phone. It refers to an accident they claim I've had. I've not had such an accident.

The claims companies spam mobile phones with texts & landlines with automatic voice recordings in the hope that they will get some bites on the hook.
