+447934271176

I got another today saying-
"you have still not claimed the Compensation you are due for the Accident you had, To claim pls reply CLAIM. To OPT out text STOP"

I have had a few messages like this and they are annoying. I havent had a claim or accident. Does anyone know whos number this is or where they are getting my number from?

same here, I keep deleting them but just this minute got one, number +447742343703. It's a bit annoying that these people have got my number but there's no chance I'm going to reply to them!

I get them too. Many different numbers.

Only started getting them when I enquired about a loan with yes. (I been on radio one about them and the spam).

If you have any number blocking software on your phone, i use block'em from the Android Market, as soon as i get a text or call from a number not in my phonebook the app ask me if i want to block it.

just a heads up on the numbers that keep testing me, well they did.

Thanks for the tip- is this a free app? Worth a look into me thinks

Is it such a problem that you you can't just delete the text? You could go on forever blocking various different numbers...and will end up spending more time administering the blocked numbers on any "number blocking" app. than IMO is worth it. Just click delete and forget about it

I also receive crap like that, just don't reply and delete the message.

I wouldn't post on here if it was so rare that I could just delete. I do delete but its coming in so often I asked for advise.
