They are not the traditional telemarketers for the most part.

Not to mention that along the way, they are costing many of money as I don't have unlimited texting.
Most of these messages entail something to the effect of "thanks for visiting our site", call ....... to claim your $100 certificate."
They usually show up with a valid non 800 type number but ask you to call an 800, 877 or 866 number.
If you or anyone you know is getting them, contact the FTC at 877-382-4357 and once on their menu, hit 0 twice to go to a rep.
I am told the FBI is aware of this scam and is working on it but the more information they are provided, the better it will be to shut them down.

Thanks For The Heads Up, Carlos. I Only Get Occasional Texts From Spammers On My Cell, But Nothing Like That. Hope It Clears Up For You!
