I got the same text. I checked my messages and I have a text from 88088 from last month confirming I have been unsubscribed from all services on 86660, which led me to 2 text comps I entered in Jan and Feb, one in the Express and one in the Star. I'll await my cheque with interest (no pun intended)! :rotfl:Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none.
