A quick round the block.
I just got a message from 83008 by textcosmo (the new name of cosmotext, who used to send from 67778).
Here's some good tips on
how to deal with textcosmo, and their ilk.
1) Call your operator and check if you've been charged.
2) Call the premium rate regulator, on 0800 500212 to get the name and number of the txt spammer, and tell them to ask the spammer to remove your number.
Also register a complaint if you've been charged.
3) Call them (Dialogue Communications on 0870 0790400 in this case) and ask to be taken off their database, and confirm if they are responsible for sending you the message.
4) Call the company that actual sent you the message (Two Screen on 0870 4791158) and ask them to remove your number (belt and braces aproach) and ask them how the hell they got it in the first place.
The answer phone says they'll reply withing 24 hours. We'll see.
Message include incase anyone's searching for the spamming gits.
