I have been recieving text messages this morning telling me that I have won a $25 Walmart gift card, and just got another one addressed to Kathrine saying she has one for $200??? WTH? Have any of you recieved this?, I figure it is a scam since there is an 800 # attached to claim the gift cards.

Got a survey call on my cell today. Told them to remove my number. By law, they are supposed to.

That txt sounds like a good ol scam to me though!

Got this in an email today... might be legit, eh?

REMEMBER: Cell Phone Numbers Go Public this month.
REMINDER..... All cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing
companies and you will start to receive sales calls.

.... YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS

To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone:
888-382-1222.
It is the National DO NOT CALL list It will only take a minute of your time.. It
blocks your number for five (5) years. You must call from the cell phone number
you want to have blocked. You cannot call from a different phone number.

HELP OTHERS BY PASSING THIS ON .. It takes about 20 seconds.

I don't believe you can get a ".gov" domain unless you're government affiliated.... Which I guess the government is just as crooked as any scam artist out there.
