I have been receiving unsolicited text messages asking do I want to see real amateur housewife's and such other things on my mobile. I have also spoken with several other members at parties who also said they had got them. The common link is paying for Fabswingers via our mobile phones. I think this is out of order Fab should not send text messages or give out our mobiles to anyone else. I would be interested to hear comments from others who are getting them.

It isn't Fab selling your number or anything to do with the fact you topped up Fab on your mobile,just don't ,obviously open link on text message,......do a forum search for previous threads on this that had had satisfactory answers from admin

Do you pass any numbers on when we text to upgrade? Do you send marketing texts?

NO. We send one upgrade text with your PIN only. Fab doesn't actually receive your number as part of the text upgrade process (if you have upgrade problems and you need us to look into it, we have a secure interface to a system where we can lookup attempted upgrades from a specific number you supply us with, only). Our text partner who handles the billings does not sell or supply your number to 3rd parties either. Your number is never used for marketing texts. This is legally enforcable under the data protection act, and we and our text provider could get fines of hundreds of thousands of pounds if we broke this promise.

Text spammers often target blocks of numbers with a scattergun approach. If you receive spam text, you should ALWAYS report it to PhonePayPlus, the premium text regulator. They can force text spammers to close down their operations and apply large fines. They can also help you understand how your number came to be spammed. They have a form on their homepage where you can enter a premium text number and check the people operating it (including customer service numbers).

Complain to PhonePayPlus the premium text regulator

Goto their homepage and check a number

Ruggers, I've just read the previous thread on this subject, and I've emailed that company who sends the texts from 89333.... so hopefully I'll stop receiving them now
