I recieved an sms that read: "Welcome to Optus Prepaid.Reply to this SMS with your email to get 50 free sms. To unsub from txt ph 1300720084" Now all these blogs mention this number relating to spam ringtones. I newly transfered to optus prepaid and the customer service rep didn't mention anything about email subscription offers with 50 free sms. Not only that, notice the inconsistencies, SMS, sms and txt. Also, they were cheap with characters and reduced words and even removed the space before the word Reply to perfectly fit one sms. Not something Optus would do. So I gave a very very old email which I check every two months or so... It's been about 2 weeks, still haven't receive any free sms or reply and funny thing is, no extra spam for my email. Maybe I should call up the ACCC. It’s dodgy. I recieved an sms that read:

It's not Optus, it's mobile phone spam scammers. I got the same telephone number as an opt-out for the “Make Poverty History Zero Seven Concert” to be held on July 1st.
