I just got some SMS SPam
 

for a local dating site, anyone ever spammed by SMS? Must be good to get local traffic, it's annoying, but it did get me to go to the site, are there laws against this, it was pretty annoying since I pay for every incoming sms

I find it quite annoying man.

i think there are laws against this. i could be wrong though

hmm i see

Well I just called telus and they said well we can't really do anything against him, blah blah blah, so everyone who wants to spam telus users, go right ahead!

No one has any info if this is illegal or not?

I used to get it quite a lot, never worked out where they got my # from

for instance,
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]


etc

All depends what country you are in, and what country the gateway software that sent it was in.

that's possible? Wow

sweet

Generally if you pay for incoming messages, it isn't legal.

Across Europe SMS spam is pretty commonplace, and you can actually sign up for a bulk SMS account from the phone companies.

But in Europe it's sender pays... so it doesn't cost you anything.

(I used to work with phone companies)

wow indeed... I never thought of doing it from a normal email.... thats gonna get ugly :)

just load up Eudora and bcc 514-000-0000 till 514-999-9999 you're bound to get a decentamount of traffic

If you hate someone really bad you can cost him hundreds a day:1orglaugh

Funny you mention that asuna my friend got a penis enlargement spam in montreal yesterday

I got spammed for a dating site in montreal.... msut be a new site, 6 members only, all maleq

I received an sms spam couple of weeks ago, but the dumb ass didn't hide the list of Fido customers he sent to.
I now have a nice list, and bonus! I can send from Fido's own website for free.

I've never got SMS spam, hopefully it won't happen over here for a while.

I can't believe it's costing you to get spammed. :(

if u hate someone i can send a 1000 sms to them:D

i'm sorry I will stop

We will prob see some actions soon in N America.
