I just received a text message from 'WIXAWIN'. I had never even heard of wixawin but with some research I found out it is a total scam. They lure people in by telling them they can win prizes, so people do a survey or subscribe to them by giving their mobile number. They then receive 8 "questions" a month at 2E each. I have never heard of wixawin and I did NOT ever give my mobile number away. The txt had a pin number in it and it said "enter this pin number to get the result of our IQ test". I did not dare do this, however, I did text stop to ensure I had been unsubscribed.

I am afraid that somebody else used my mobile number or somehow wixawin got hold of it. I emailed them but probably won't get a reply until tomorrow or so. Has this happened to anybody else or has anybody had any problems with wixawin??:mad::eek:
