    Dating service scam?

    I just got a message on my mobile saying "You are being contacted by our dating service by someone you know! To find out who it is, call from a land line 0905 etc".

    Sounds like a scam to me. Has anyone heard anything about it?

    Quite. It would have been nice if it was true though!

    Was very tempted to send a text back saying "Try someone more gullible".

    But even then they have got you.

    Your best off contacting your phone company & tell them your getting spamed & give them the details
