I tried to reply to the text #, 21687036@text.com, and it wouldn't go through. Such a pain when we all pay these cell phone carriers a lot. They could at least be able to block false texts.

I got a text that said "([AchieveCard]) Urgent Message. Please Call: 3303567535" It seemed very odd so I didn't call. I just researched the phone number.

I received the same txt as above saying my achieve card (which I do not have) has been shut down due to fraud.

Got same text message as Dave: "([AchieveCard]) Urgent Message. Please Call: 3303567535"
Text message was from a "@vtext.com" (Verizon) number -- I deleted the message so I don't have the numbers before "@vtext.com"
Will not reply "STOP" to any unwanted message. But, STOP is generally the way to no longer receive messages from services that YOU originally signed up for.
To me, and I have read this before, replying just tells the spammer that this is a live number. I just block the number.
[for example, see Badge714's comment in the 1st link below ; also see http://lifehacker.com/5750717/how-do-i-block- ... on-my-cellphone: "Generally spammers will just guess your number by trial and error (which is why replying can be so bad, because then they know you exist)."]
I did some Googling and found this excellent thread of great info:
http://800notes.com/forum/ta-6dbfa49432dde2d/ ... xt-message-spam --
especially lone stranger's 26 Dec 2012 post:
"There is one more thing that you can do to help stop text spammers. If you do receive a ?junk message? send it to GSMA by forwarding the message to 7726 (S P A M). This is a service used by many cell phone carriers (including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and many others around the world) to assist them in filtering out spammers."
Also, DaFox's reply: "If a short code owner starts using it for spam, that code can be pulled, the owner will be out the money they paid for the code, and left wide open for fines and suits."
How to block --- see tikibar1's Feb 26, 2013 post

Got a text (Achieve Card) "Urgent Message" Please call 330-356-7535. Rec'd the same thing yesterday telling me to call 440-791-0474. I have no idea what an "Achieve card" is - obviously I don't have one.

Yup. Same thing... on my work phone.

I sent a text back "STOP" and got an error message!
| Chris 2014-02-04 03:31:19 Unknown |
No, but they're smart enough to know there are probably dozens of idiots who WILL call and leave their credit card info. If scamming wasn't profitable these lowlifes would go back to being greeters at Wal-Mart.
| M 2014-02-04 03:20:27 Unknown |
I received the same thing called the back and put .
In a bunch of numbers they replied not the tight numbers. Just wonder how many people fall for this stuff.

| Dee 2014-02-04 00:21:13 Telemarketer |
Don't call it. This may be the scam that's going around, that when you call the number, you get charged some astronomical amount of money on your cell phone bill.
