How do these people get my unlisted cell phone number?

I got this text message on my phone "cash4business@yahoo.com//you have been pre-qualified for up to $200,000k to expand your business. No personal guarantee required. Call 888-599-2127."
I just barely got this text at 11:35 a.m. western mountain time, Oct. 29th, 08.
Considering the average household income and circumstance...I think this is a pretty rotten thing to do. If it's a scam, I pray to God whomever is doing it rots in hell! May they suffer ten times the pain and frustration they have now inflicted upon others!!! You shouldn't do this to people who is having money problems that just isn't cool.

I to got a text @ about noon or so that read "getcash@yahoo.com you have been pre-qualified for $200k to expand your business. call 888-599-2127. This is about the 5th text that I have gotten like this in the last 2 weeks. I am so upset this all the spam that keeps popping up. I wish that there was something that someone could do about putting a stop to this kind of crap.

Same message getcash@yahoo.com 200K etc. etc.
If not stopped these people will surley end up scaming someone.

I just got a text message from 3610 getcah@yahoo.com to try to scam me. Thats nt fair that our phone companies dont do anything about it....

getcash@yahoo.com/  /Need a $200,00 line of credit. Access to funds in 45 days. Call 888-599-2127 today. [8:23:15 PM]

same stuff for me too!!!!! I get so many random calls and a couple of spam messages..-.- I have never put my phone number into any online junk stuff. stupid T-Mobile. they selling everyone's number

getcash@yahoo.com/get 200,000 dollar line of credit, access to funds in 45days. hope who ever put this out gets shot. ive had 4 in 2 days its getting annoying

I received the same message. i do not pay for texts so i am not sure if it's tmobile that is the scammer. i also called the number and spoke with someone but i was at work and did not have time to hear his entire explanation(even though i was the one that called). i told him i would call him back (merely because my small business could use the money) but i have not. i am sure it is too good to be true but am still curious....He gave me his name and extension number.

I've got a SMS on 10/04/08 with the following message " getcash@yahoo.com//Need a $200.000 line of credit.Acess to funds in 45 days. Call 888-599-2127 today.

get cash blah blah blah $200,000 888-599-2127 "we should send a bulk to them and charge their sorry buts IF ONLY"

The text was from getcash@yahoo.com which of course does not exist!  Offering a $200,000 line of credit, if I needed that kind of cash, like I'd reply to a text message anyway!  There for one can not contact them to tell them to remove you from any list!

I just got a text saying "getcash@yahoo.com//Need a $200,00 line of credit. Access to funds in 45 days. Call 888-599-2127 today.

Who is this?

I have TMobile prepaid and received the same text message.  I've had their service for over a year and have been pleased, but if this is what I have to put up with I'll go somewhere else once my minutes are up.

Got a text from 888-559-2127 and it had better stop or I will report  you to the Fed DNC

This is Bull-S**t 20,0000

"getcash@yahoo.com/ /   Need a $200,000 line of credit? Access to funds in 45 days. Call 888-599-2127 today."

Um, is this legal? Hardly seems like it.

got a text from '3607' that said "need a $200,000 line of credit. access to funds in 45 days. call 888-599-2127 today"    yeaaaah right muthafuckers

I just received this same text message and I am also on the National Do Not Call Registry.  My text used a 4-digit ID of "3575" and gave the same txt and phone number as the messages stated in the above complaints.  The # to call, 1-888-599-2127 was answered by a pre-recorded voice identifying the business as D2B, whatever that means.  These people are scammers trying to get you social r security and bank account numbers.  It is annoying to receive a SPAM text message when we are the one paying for the text, but come on people.  It is not T-Mobile doing the spamming.  What they hey kind of logic is that anyway?  Be smart about it if you expect to be taken seriously.  And no matter whom your carrier is, if you receive a text (even that you don't open), you pay for the incoming charges even if it only applies toward your texting plan.  That's the way cell works.  But I do agree, the real scammers are a royal pain.  They won't even use a real number.  You can't identify them via that 4-digit code.  What a joke.  These are con-artists who move from one place to another as fast as you can sneeze.  You catch one and a new one is born.  Get a texting plan, call your carrier to see if a block can be placed on your number for incoming texts like that (or change your number) until the cellular carriers find a way to stop the madness.  But this is not a plan by the carriers to make us do (buy) anything.   The cellular companies are simply too large to do any such thing.  How would they get 100 per cent compliance from their employees on that?  Come on!
