These mobile phone scams!

These mobile phone scams!

Some of these companies that offer ring-tones, games & wall-papers. Once
you down load from them, they will put your number on a mailing list,
send text to you (every week) and charge you £1.50 to receive them. I know
you can text the word: STOP to them, but they will still charge you £1.50 to
recive the Goodbye text.

I think that service should not be allude to operate, or they shouldn't
be charging you for receiving their advertising text.

Please excuse my language, but i think they are taking the pi##.
