Yet another Text-Spam: 1-305-877-4908 August 15, 2010
Posted by 37prime in : Announcement, Media, News, Rants, Resources, Security, Tech, Troubleshooting , add a commentText-Spam is really annoying because it actually uses the SMS quota, unless you have the ulimited plan.
I received another Text Spam message on August 15th, 2010. Don’t bother calling 1-305-877-4908 back, because it doesn’t take any phone calls and the voice mail-box is not set-up. All you need to do is to file complaints to FCC because such unsolicited text messages violate CAN-SPAM Act.
You should file form 1088G to report this violation. File a complaint on FCC site http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
You can also call 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-2255-322) voice; 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-8355-322) TTY.
The text reads:
Do you owe $10,000+ to the IRS? Our gov’t approved program can REDUCE BACK TAXES by over 70%. Reply “YES” to see if you qualify! (optout,reply:out)

I have been filing complaints to FCC and unfortunately they ruled that such Text Spam did not violate any of their rules. I’ll get to that in the future.
