going thru my old texts, since I got a SPAM Walmart $1000 card one today, I wanted to check now on this old one back on April 7, 2012, re;  "You have been seleced to receive a FREE $50 Target Gift voucher call 18886844708 to redeem. TXT STOP TO STOP

They still try to get you if you do'nt call by a least texting them back with your "legitimate" cell # to "stop";  thus using your # in the future.  So just REPORT them and then DELETE them!!

Hope you guys get these scum & I hope it gets eradicated somehow, but it seems like it is impossible?

I called from a land line phone after receiving a text message to call the 1-888 number and they want you to press one on your mobile phone to receive your $50.00 voucher and be enrolled in a special shoppers club. You'll also be billed $9.99 on your mobile phone bill per month.

I just realized something...I got the same text today but I was shopping at Target last night. Anyone get this text AFTER shopping? The fact that I used by debit card might make a difference from someone who used cash. I haven't been at Target in over 3 yrs and the first time I go, I get this text! The call came from 312-375-8278 & said to call 888-684-4708. Just curious what the connection here may be...

Followed your instructions and everything happened exactly as you explained it would, immediately. Thanks for the info. I guess it will take a little time before I know whether or not it has worked, but judging by ATT's response, I'm guessing I won't have to worry about this anymore. 'preciate it!

U don't ever give out ur credit card or SS # to people who say you won.  That's just crazy. It's called an Identity theft scam.

How about returning their text or e-mail with a virus attached??  Would that be considered illegal?  Or is it like murder, only illegal if you get caught???  Who are they going to call?

you are a douche rocket!
if you think creating a pocket dialer system that randomizes the attached party line and redirects the message to all of the persons contacts is someone out to make a "quick buck", you must consider yourself a rather skilled worker.  and by the way, the whole FTC open policy was created under the Bush administration and is called "trigger leads".  The elite rich believed that consumers should get everyones available offers before making any decisions.
Read more, and think, intead of being such a bottom feeding believer.  get a clue Joe Blow.

I got the supposed "Free $50 gift card from Target" from 9417267283. I sent it to 7726 (Spam reporting for ATT) as the others did and then sent the phone number.

It is important to report these abusers so they get shut down as soon as possible. Usually, it's some low-life, government-subsidized, foodstamp loving loser who is out to make a quick buck by gathering and selling personal information to the true fraud professionals.

It's a system, and just like they have the hand-out system mastered, they have the identity fraud system mastered, too.

THIS IS A WELL KNOWN SCAM.  If you want to know more, keep reading.

SMS Text message scams:

These scams are very common.  Millions of such text messages are being sent.  Here are the things you need to know.

(1) The message did not come from Walmart, Best Buy, Apple, Target, or any other legitimate company.  This is a scam.

(2) If the message is about a loan, trouble with your mortgage, etc., it is also a scam.  If you apply for such a loan you will be giving the scammers all of your personal info, which will allow them to steal your identity, empty your bank account, target you with phony collections activities such as the payday loan scam, and any other crimes they think up in the future.

(3) If you get a text message from an unknown sender asking you to call a phone number (often claiming to be from a bank or credit card company) DO NOT call the number.  If you are concerned that such a call might be legitimate, look up the number for your bank/credit card/whatever for yourself, and call that number to check if the message is legitimate.  (It is almost certainly a scam unless you have told your bank to send you text message alerts,)

(4) Walmart/Best Buy/Apple/Whoever did not give the scammers your phone number.  The volume of these spams is so huge, that it is inevitable that some recipients will have just been shopping in the store whose name is used in the scam.

(5) The scammers who sent you this message do not "have" your phone number.  They are blasting huge blocks of numbers which are assigned to cell phone carriers.  You might look at getting these messages as "winning" a random drawing.  Lucky you ;) .

(6) DO NOT visit the links contained in such messages.  Some of these are malicious web sites which will infect your computer.  The scammers will have full access to all of the information on your computer, and they will also be able to commit criminal acts using your computer to hide behind.

(7) PLEASE do not post working links from scam text messages.  If you want to post a link, break the link.  Instead of posting www.google.com, simply post www.google (dot) com.  Having such links can be useful to those of us interested in getting these web sites shut down, but we do not want them to be in a form where someone will be tempted to click on the link to satisfy their curiosity.

(8) Please do not bother the folks at your local store about this scam.  They don't know any more about it than you do.  If you must get some validation beyond this post, contact the national headquarters for the company in question.  Unfortunately, they can't tell you as much about it as those of us who try to track these creeps down, but they are very aware of the scams, because they are disruptive and harmful to the companies whose names are being used.

(9) For those who are wondering, I can't tell you who is originating this scam.  I can tell you that they use Internet hosting companies in the US as well as overseas.  I have had good luck getting the hosting companies to shut these sites down, but the scammers are prepared for this, and it only disrupts them for a few hours at most.

I hope you find this helpful.
