Cellphone Scam?

I keep getting Text messages on my Cell, with a link to a website. Is this some kind of scamA confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; ? Will I get charged lots if I browse to the link on my phone? I don't know where they are coming from, but hope it's not the start of SMS Spam :(

Well I found that some websites pay money to read SMS on your mobile but this looks new for me. I think you should copy that link and try to open in on your PC.

Oh I would not be surprised one bit if you are being spammed on your cell phone. There is not a device in the world today that would be exempt if it has an interenet connection on it. I would just delete it and continue as you normally do.

You better ignore their messages. They are just trying to have more income when you browse the link that they are giving using your mobile phone.

If I do not know who is calling me, I never ever answer the phone either at home or with my cellphone. There are scamA confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; artist clowns everywhere we look, and sadly they will not be disappearing anytime soon as much as we may hope otherwise.

All we can do is be cautious, and to alert others of anything fishy we see.
