“You may be entitled to up to ?3000 from mis-sold PPI” SMS Spam

I hadn’t heard anything from these scummy SMS spammers recently, I assumed they had been busted in one of the recent crackdowns.

Urgent – You may be entitled to up to £3000 from mis-sold PPI on loans or credit cards. For a free no obligation check reply PPI or STOP to opt out

The sending number was +447866079549, although these spammers change their number more often than their underwear.

If you get one of these, you should forward the spam to your carrier. In the came of T-Mobile, O2 and Orange the number to report to is 7726 (“SPAM”). Vodafone customers should use 87726 (“VSPAM”) and Three customers should use 37726 (“3SPAM”). Hopefully the carriers will act if there are enough complaints.
