So at 12.30 am last night I get a text message from [imyibhayk@ilovekatzs.com](mailto:imyibhayk@ilovekatzs.com) and this is what it says. “(Hey it’s Fredric) A fountain of energy whats going to move in the mkt tomorrow, UTEI, thats News You Can Use” What the fuck is it? I have never got a text message from a .com I’m kind of pissed if its advertisement though. Should I go to Verizon and have them block it or something? I’m kind of confused on the matter. Plus its 5.15 am…but I’m not sure if I should be pissed/worried/ it was a mistake… Any ideas guys ? ---

if its verizon, call 800-922-0204, let them know it happened. they will be reversing charges (if you have any) for these texts. there is some sort of alert going on about them ---

I got one for the first time the other night. I’m not sure how they got my number or if its a brute force. It’s a pump & dump spam attempt, like Viper explained. Most people aren’t dumb enough to base their investments on a random misspelled text message but there must be a few that fall for it, otherwise this type of spam wouldn’t exist. ---

my email address at work is public so I get those in the email form all day long, usually 50-75 a day. its ridiculous that they are allowed to do that because it costs some people .10 everytime they send/receive a text message ---

Did those of you who get spam texts sign up for the do not call registry (does this even apply for texts?), or did you put your cell number on a potentially shady website while making a purchase? The only spam text I’ve ever gotten was from the Crocodile Bar, and I know how that started… [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtf-text-message/40023.md?page=2)
