    Anyone get caught with facebook/sms tesco voucher prize scam.
    someone wife daughter or whoever entered SHOP as a reply to this message (certainly not me) as i cannot stand this targeted way of exploiting funds out of people.
    these people damage genuine charity's who use a similar system to to gather funds for genuine causes, apparently the company responsible for this carry on are called txt nation ltd, or txt nation global. tried blocking this user on my phone (No Good) so far i am down €67.50 since November. Send STOP to 57976 (No Good) messages kept coming,Rang eir to block messages, they could not help, rang comreg 01 804 9668 who in all fairness pointed me in the right direction, rang txt nation helpline 1800901656 and demanded that they stop sending messages, when i told them i sent STOP to 57976 they said they have no record of this, yet eir could tell me i had sent numerous stop requests, the girl @ txt nation took my number and said all sms messages would cease, lets see what happens, i demanded a full refund of my money they took from my account. Hope this helps some other poor creature

    apparently once you text (SHOP) as your reply, you have entered a contract. (You have been entered into a draw) (you have been chosen)(your chance to win a holiday etc) best thing to do is just delete these messages as they target you. at least the late late show tell you your charges before you decide to enter a competition.

    i have sent a refund request to them. legally they have to respond/reply within 10 days. If i get no response or satisfaction from them then it gets handed back to comreg, they issue the consumer a case number on complaint of the scam. lets see if the refund arrives in my paypal acc.
