    Hi there, last evening I got two texts from 'FreeMsg'. One was telling me I was entitled to free credir and the other was a link. I assume these are spam and if I click the link I will be robbed of everything they can possibly take form me. I cannot reply or send stop to the sender as it is coming in the form of a data message so there is a globe where the number should be.
    Does anyone have any experience of this and how it could be stopped? I am on the vodafone network.
    Thanks,
    Ciaran

    I have actually deleted the message since so not sure what the web site was. What is the O2 scam?

    Sounds more like 'fone club' to me, where you get credit but they take your credit in a subscription more so than the O2 hacking.
