Help Stop Text Spam

I don't know about you, but every now and then I'll get a text message telling me "I've won" just click here.  I don't know what to do with these messages.  I know that typically you reply to an unwanted automated text with the words STOP, but those are for ones you subscribe to.

I'm always afraid to reply STOP to these messages because then they'll "know" that this is a live number and the spam will increase - so I typically don't do anything with them other than giggle and hit the delete button.

Not anymore!  The FTC has been cracking down on text spammers lately so I figured now was a great time to share this information with you.

Now when you get a spam text message, don't delete it.  But instead FORWARD the message to SPAM (7726).  It'll then be added to the database - what they'll do with it, who knows, but perhaps it will help shut some sites down.

This program is already three years old and it's the first I've heard of it.

OMG, I really think I'm a teenaged girl!

OMG, CYBI? I just got my cellphone bill and i about gagged on my Lipton Apple Flavored Tea. My bill was close to $100 when it should be around $50. As I pulled out my magnifying glass and started going through the bill with a fine tooth comb I see what happened. They were charging me $10 for GPS service that I never downloaded or used, I'm getting that $10 back! The other frightening thing is I went over my text message package by 259 messages......that means I get to pay Verizon $25.90 EXTRA this month because I've been using my cell phone as a teletype instead of a telephone.

I sent and received 759 messages this past month, now considering that there are 30 days in a month that means that on average I "handled" up to 25 text messages a day. WTF was I doing?

It is amazing though, if you just push one little button instead of pressing a whole bunch of other buttons to spell out a whole bunch of different words you get to actually speak to the person - LIVE! You can ask them any questions you want or just breath heavy if that's your game - but since Caller ID is de rigueur that game isn't as much fun as it used to be. Ain't technology wonderful?

Geez man....I had no idea that I was so "in" with the "in" crowd. I always knew that I was a Teenage Girl at heart, but I think that I've really proved it this time. I mean I love me some Disney Princesses (as can be witnessed by my lastest America's Most Embarrassing Moment). I think I may have to go out and find a Sugar Daddy so I can support my text messaging habit.

OK, L8R Bitches!(oh yeah, apparently that's the cool way to say goodbye to your friends so don't get mad at me for calling you a bitch....but then if you are a bitch you already knew that and you didn't need me to tell you)

I figure I must be about 13......how old do you think you are?
