Your phone’s text notification goes off and you think, “I wonder who’s trying to reach me?” Oh no, it’s another spam text!
Spammers now know how to find you on your cell phone. What should you do if you get a spam text? What’s at stake? And how can you stop it?
All questions familiar to busy, working mom’s throughout the nation. Mom’s always pay attention when their phone goes off. Is it a text about their kids? A text about their job? When it turns out to be spam text, it can be very frustrating and annoying.
How annoying are spam text messages?
FCC data report reveals more than 10,000 complaints have been filed about unwanted robocall and telemarketing text messages. Spam texts are actually very prevalent in today’s society and they are only getting worse.
How did these telemarketers get your number?
It is possible you may have given it to them. People will often opt in for text messages and not realize they’ve done so. This could be anything from buying something online to even going to a sporting event where the big board says, “Text your favorite something to this number”.
But sometimes, texts are being sent from an auto dialer just looking for a response. There are a wide variety of text message hacks that can occur today: everything from hacktivism to actually owning your phone with viruses and malware.
I don’t know what to do or how to make these spam texts stop!
You’re not alone! Did you know that it’s illegal for marketers to send you a text message without your consent? According to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) if a company sends you an unsolicited text message, then they are responsible to pay you for each spam text message that they sent you. This law is in place to protect you from the annoyance, nuisance, and invasion of privacy from these telemarketers.
