Annoying scam text message

[pam]

Well, it looks like they've started again-those annoying text messages about PPI telling you you're owed £4150 from +447585971671 namely www.ppirelief.com telling you you've had an accident etc.

Is there anywhere or anyone on O2 who you can report this kind of thing to?  I have actually typed the url in on my pc and yes, they exist seemingly exclusively for this kind of annoying thing.

Forward these to 7726:

Many thanks perksie

You're welcome Pam, they should reduce and stop after a while.

There is some more here about reporting these pests:

I get so many PPI messages. or my £3450 from my accident is waiting for me. I don't know anyone that does not get them, come to think of it. :manmad:

I'm sure I don't get half as many since I started sending them on to 7726.

Had two this afternoon after going a couple of months without. It's nice to be able to add them to the blocklist on the S3. I did forward them both to 7726 though.

I used to get a thank you text from 7726 but not today for some reason?
