SMS Spam?

Anonymous — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 08:28:20 GMT

Hi guys,

I've recently received a text message with this link in it:
http://w03.w478.net/app/v4/FvPqxEdc/nYk ... C_2zyb_no/

Is it spam? I haven't clicked it on my phone in fear as it will charge me a fortune, but I am really curious to what it is. Any ideas?

Thanks.

1 forward the spam to 7726 o2 spam reporting number
2 look at phone pay plus website for info on how to complain
3 register your mobile with the telephone preference service.

as to how they get your number easy they know the number ranges used and a computer randomly dial till it gets an active one.
