Put simply, this fraudulent 'internet media company' will deduct $3.00 from your mobile phone account for every 3 messages you receive through them. They will then send you an sms every day containing advertising so that you are automatically billed for $3.00 every 3 days*! The charges will come under "SMS Content" (Technically not an advertisement, but a 'Premium SMS').
