Loan Company Texts

[alluvial]

Anyone else getting bombarded with texts offering cheap payday loans or purporting to have approved a loan application they've received?

Getting really irritating now, I'm getting several of these every day and I would like to know what scumbag gave these parasites my mobile number.

Hmmm. Can you think of any scumbags that have your mobile number?

If you have an Android Phone, you can download some software that allows you to block certain numbers. Don't know if they exist on other platforms.

I've got the Galaxy S2 and it comes with that function where you can add a number to a blacklist but they have a lot of different numbers that they use.

Yep same here. I get loads about loan approvals, insurance claims, mobile phone offers, PPI claims and all sorts. Apparently if you respond to them telling them STOP that tells them you are actually there which allows them to then sell on these real numbers to other idiot text spammers. Sods.

I am getting bombarded with calls telling me they can reclaim thousands of my PPI. I have never taken out any PPI in the past and they all seem quite surprised when I tell them that.

Not phone numbers as I have a PAYG sim card that I give to pimps which is chucked when I find a new gig, but my email address (cv@*****.com) gets all sorts of companies that can only come from people selling the list (this is unsolicited so car insurance etc rather than spam viagra)
