Last night I received a spam text message. Apparently some stock (PBHX?) is about "to go through the!"
I'm assuming "roof" was accidentally omitted. The message indicated it came from AOL, but the specific sender was identified only by a series of digits that do not comprise a full phone number.
This seems like an inefficient way to get the word out about a favored stock. Is text messaging the new frontier for spam? Is this a common occurrence?

i got that same message! do you have tmobile?
I also got a spam text yesterday. Funny that it didn't cross my mind that this was possible. But really, anyone with your phone number can send you one...
I don't recall exactly what it said, as I have since deleted it. But I have Cingular, oh excuse me, AT&T.
I have AT&T also. Wonder if they use some variation of a random number generator since cell numbers are unlisted...? Can you send a text from an email program like AOL--and if so does that cost less than via cell phone? Really, I just feel totally uninformed about this new frontier of spam.
