This text message spam is very annoying because we have to pay for them. Depending on the package you have your mobile phone operator, each text message can cost around 10-50 cents. That does not seem much, but when you start to get six, seven, eight or spam text messages per day, is actually increasing.
So you can do to stop them?
Well you can try complaining to your mobile phone operator, but do not expect to get a t very far. You can persuade your credit back some charges, but it sa great complexity. They ll make you wait on the phone forever and then ll give you a hard time will give a refund. And who wants to deal with that after this month?
A better idea is to file a complaint directly with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). They have the power to impose fines and other measures against spammers test message discipline. They get hit once in the tens of thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees, they soon forget II of sending spam text messages.
You can make a complaint directly in the FCC's official website. You need to provide the following information:
1. The name and contact information.
2. The phone number that he received a text spam message.
3. Date and time the message was received.
4. Goods or services advertised in the message.
5. Name of the company that sent the message.
Now this last bit of information you could be a little difficult. Spammers often use false names to their messages. But you can find the original name and address and run a reverse number lookup is simple. There are many sites that provide this service for a small fee.
