    The phone numbers are auto-generated by the spammers, i'd say. They definitely auto-generate email addresses. Mobile numbers would be far easier, as they know the first 3 digits and the total number of digits.

    My mate got this text today:

    "you are ireland's winner. Your number has been chosen to recieve a free gift. Go to www..... " and then gives a link to goto. Seemingly apple.ie address. But it doesnt have an forward slash in its url (eg, www.apple.ie.contest etc)

    Mate got exactly the same text the other day but said Sony instead of Apple :pac: Thought i'd share with boards. Is anyone else getting these?

    Just got 6 texts in 60 minutes with the same content. When I Googled the number it said it's registered in Atlanta, Georgia.
