SMS scam messages - 0871 5720043
Oct 2nd, 2007 at 1:16pm
 
Been getting nuisance SMS scam text messages requesting I call 08715720043 .  The text is coming from a name rather than a specific number, so Orange cannot do anything to stop it.  Anyone know who might be originating these or how to get them stopped?

The number 0871 572 is owned by 7Tel (aka FireFly Telecom) - their website is http://www.fireflytelecom.com/. It seems that their customer services have an 0871 number too... however, there are email addresses on the website so you can contact them and enquire about who is calling you.

Don't call the 0871 number as it is 10ppm... unsurprisingly the most expensive one...

Thanks for the advce.  I've emailed them.  I've also reported my ongoing  problem to the Police - who say they cannot do anything unless a crime is committed! 

Have to see if Firefly Telecom will respond.

Thanks again.
