possible scam/virus - beware

Options
the other night i received what came up as a multimedia message on my mobile from a number i did not recognise. it was entitled 'hi there'

im not daft enough to open such a thing and thought should warn you all incase you receive similar.
There's someone in my head, but it's not me

    Indeed - I mistakenly accepted a bluetooth message on a train once which then sent messages to all of my contacts. Nothing serious but took a bit of searching to get it off the phone.
    We all evolve - get on with it
  • Hubby got one yesterday, when I looked no number had come up, instead it showed a web address. We just deleted it and thought it was probably something either dodgy or annoying.
