Weird texts recieved on meteor

bronte

Hi guys,
Recently moved to meteor at christmas...still have my 087 number.
Since the move I recieved a text from some service called "FREE"
telling me that a friend had arranged to have my fortune told (of course in smaller print at the bottom it said it was a subscription service @36 eur a month. Needless to say I didn't reply to that one.
It was very misleading though as it had "FREE" at the top..leading you to believe it was a free service. :rolleyes:

The second text I received at the weekend, It was not from any particular number..and the sender of the text read "I no ull find this hrd"
Then you open the text and it says"I no ull find dis hrd to believe"
That was it!
My phone is a se k750i and the little message envelope had a small green dot on it..I don't know if that means there's something attached and if there is I'd be half afraid to open it!
Has anyone else recieved this text/these texts??
Just curious, in particular about the last one...but don't wanna accidently sign myself up for some stupid service

You can check who the sender is here if you have the 5 digit number beginning with number 5.

The second one, no idea about it.

Ring customer care and ask them to investigate, in case you're getting charged.

Hmm...seems the first text was from realm...
The secend one I can't do a search on because absolutely no number came up in the text...which I find really weird!

Don't open it or click on the link.

I got that today and I also got one on valentines day.
That cost me €6

I had a thread on it called "Funny Valentine Video"

could be sent from some web service hence no number.

i got those 2 said on the i know one at the bottom of mine was a subscription service i just delete them as soon as they come in usually.

Thanks for that guys...
I found out the second text was from realm too.
Have emailed them twice demanding to be removed from their service, and have only gotten auto replies back....so if i am subscribed i will demand that they credit me back the amount they took out.
What I really don't like is how misleading the texts are.
They either make you think you're getting something for free, or that the text is from someone you know (like the second text)
I was convinced it was someone I knew as the subject line read "I no ull find dis hard"
Made me think I was getting bad news or something... grr! :mad:
Will let you know how I get on.
