Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / April 2006Unsolicited SMSes
Just got another unsolicited SMS. This one is from a number 19996111 and says: "FreeMSG. You have a secret admirer! Reply CHAT to this msg to be connected. For help call 1300885902. Average msg cost $2.70." Looks like I'll have to stop giving out my mobile number as a contact point whenever I do business or whatever. Last Xmas I got an SMS with some lame Xmas joke. That was billed to me at around $5. I complained to Telstra who reversed the charge. I'll check my "calls yet to be billed" online billing service to see if this one has cost me too. > I'll check my "calls yet to be billed" online billing service to see if > this one has cost me too. Don't worry. this is a different scam, which you can safely ignore. Maybe try a complaint to TISSC?? http://www.tissc.com.au > > I'll check my "calls yet to be billed" online billing service to see if > > this one has cost me too. > > Don't worry. this is a different scam, which you can safely ignore. > > Maybe try a complaint to TISSC?? http://www.tissc.com.au You cant complain, there is nothing wrong with content and you havent been charged >>> I'll check my "calls yet to be billed" online billing service to >>> see if this one has cost me too.

SignatureKwyj If it's SPAM then that is NOT the forum (TISSC) to file a complaint. Sorry. Life sux. >>>> I'll check my "calls yet to be billed" online billing service to >>>> see if this one has cost me too.

Last I heard, TISCC were expecting to get authority over SMS as well as 1900. > >>Maybe try a complaint to TISSC?? http://www.tissc.com.au > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Last I heard, TISCC were expecting to get authority over SMS as well as > 1900. Nothing deceptive about the content On Thu, 27 Apr 2006 08:46:36 GMT, Michael (or one of their many personalities) said...... > > >>Maybe try a complaint to TISSC?? http://www.tissc.com.au > > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Nothing deceptive about the content Do you seriously think Al has a secret admirer just sitting by the phone waiting breathlessly for his reply SMS? I also received this message last week. What a joke, but I guess some desperate losers will reply and make it worth while for them. | Just got another unsolicited SMS.

I complained to Telstra who reversed the charge. And they are refunding them all automatically, so you might get a double credit I got this message quite a few months ago now. I called the enquiry number in the message, and they called me back after I left a voicemail message. They actually told me the website that the person supposedly sent it to me from. However I would say this is just a front, and they are sending the message out en-mass to random people. Best thing to keep in mind with this kinda thing is that a charge can't (or shouldn't) hit your account unless you send/reply to a SMS or sign up for something on a website. > Just got another unsolicited SMS.
