I told them to F off and hope they die with retroperistalsis.

Death by Curry, I like it!

Or maybe you put your phone number down on some form for some company that sneakily states in their TOS they give out your details to anyone. I hate scammers too, I remember there was this one where these Indian people would call you and start telling you you had a virus on your computer and you HAD to go to their website and buy their product (probably full of viruses). They didn't even know whether I had a computer or not and they just kept rushing to tell me to go to their website and they were outright rude. I knew it was a scam and I told them I was a computer tech that knew how to get rid of viruses, they were still adamant so I told them to F off and hope they die with retroperistalsis.

Nah, I'm very careful about that kind of thing. Though with all the problems that Vodafone are having lately, I wouldn't be suprised it their list of numbers got leaked. I hate scammers, F off and get a real job. Like when my brother went over to Romania, some gypsy woman was trying to scam him out of money.

Ah Vodafone, yeah i'm a member too. They've been copping a lot of bad news recently - I thought they weren't that bad until my phone just dropped out of signal recently in the middle of a shopping trip with my sister and we had gone separately through the mall and I had no way of contacting her. Thanks Vodafone.

F***** scammers, how did they get a hold of my mobile phone number? They probably send it out to every number to see who responds.

You just answered your own question there Usually the originating number is from OS and they just 'spam' a bunch of numbers without knowing that it's an active service. The best thing to do is what you have done and that's not to reply and it should stop. No service provider can do jack about OS SMS scammers because of the different laws. The only way to 'fix' the issue if it continues is to get a number change. In some other cases, your number may have been owned by someone else as mobile numbers are recycled. If you go down this path, you'll still need to register a complaint with your provider and they should waive the fee for the number change.

Losing the cash is bad... but imagine you didn't get it back and you lost all your ID, credit cards, ATM cards... now that would be a total pain in the ass

Agreed, though, losing $100 still suck immense balls though - sorry to hear gdmetro.

Mother******s. Got a scam sent to my phone

Well this looks like a possibility as to how someone may have got my number.

Vodafone mobile records leaked

Nice one Vodafone.

Oh man, you've got to be F@#$ing kidding!
Dude, seriously, can that crap of a provider and find someone else - I've been with Optus for 10 years and not a problem, just a suggestion.

Seriously, anyone who understands the slightest amount of IT Networking will baulk at that article - Vodafone I think will very soon be out of business. [/Shakes Head]

Wish I was kidding. It's a complete joke.
