I received this same message at 1:22PM.  Who wants this junk on their phone?  Does this kind of stuff really get business for anyone?

"There is a light and the end of the tunnel, your credit doesn't have to hold you back anymore. Reply YES8 for info."

I knew it was a Texas number, and I called to complain about the retarded attempt at scamming, it went to cellphone voicemail.
I texted back the and said: "I reported you to the FCC"

There is light at the end of the tunnel, your credit doesn't have to hold you back anymore.  Reply YES8 for info.

Just go to your telephone company web site and BLOCK the offending number, so it will not be able to come thru.
But that's nothing permanent, because those Caller ID spoofers use a number for one day or so, then start to use some other number. The numbers they use are abandoned numbers, not yet reassigned by the telephone companies.
From Wikipedia:

Caller ID spoofing is the practice of causing the telephone network to display a number on the recipient's Caller ID display which is not that of the actual originating station. The term is commonly used to describe situations in which the motivation is considered malicious by the speaker or writer. Just as e-mail spoofing can make it appear that a message came from any e-mail address the sender chooses, Caller ID spoofing can make a call appear to have come from any phone number the caller wishes. Because of the high trust people tend to have in the Caller ID system, spoofing can call the system's value into question.

It is amazing that such a crooked practice is allowed to go on!
Where are the feds when I need them????? I wrote to my US Rep...no response!

Bottom line: IGNORE IT and never give the other side ANY information. PERIOD!
