solow.com sub of SendMe Inc unwanted text messages. if not answered a unauthorized bill is created with the cell phone service San Fransico, California
An unwanted text message from an previously unknown source appeared on my cell phone. Text was from 877 402-3687 Solow Subscription. It said that the subscription had been renewed. Well, I'd never heard of nor previously known of Solow.com.
It did say at the bottom of the text: Reply to STOP or cancel. The logical assumption is not to reply as that usually starts a new round of "... another sucker is on the phone..." As the subscription was not actually ever started it is obviously a scam. Unfortunately the submission of the renewal by Solow has been accepted by cell phone providers. A Google search of the phone number 877 402-3687 discovers a long list of cell phone users who have been scammed and some of the providers are refusing to see it as a sacm. Fortunely my provider, AT&T Wireless, recognizes it ane reversed the charges. The contact at ATT also relayed that they are trying to stop this scam.
I believe that all customers should be assisting in stopping the rampant misuse of the technology. Unfortunately most of us do not know where to turn.
This is but a start....
