    I've also received a bunch of these messages starting from this morning. Tried texting STOP but to no avail, got more since.

    That's interesting, I've never had anything to do with Coral. I presume they have bought my number off another company or something.

    Thank you all for your replies, I feel a lot better now. I think I will put in a complaint though. I now have six messages.

    I can't find anything on twitter about it, does anyone have a link to the tweet(s) please?

    Is it worth checking with my mobile provider about charges, or should I just check my bill when it comes out?

    If you want to complain, I think ICO is a better place: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/texts/
    Interestingly, if you click on the links on the website to report to the ICO or the one for report your concerns it takes you through snapsurveys.com a well known data and market research company
    The PhonepayPlus link is clean though
    It's not just about the money
