Spammed on my PHONE! Thanks www.f411.com.....

What a great way to start my day. Get up late, check. Quick shower, check. Eat an apple on the fly, check. Drive to work, check. Recieve txt message from a 3rd-party spammer, check--wait, WHAT?

Why hello there, www.free411.com, or rather www.f411.us with a splash page pointing to the .com URL. I imagine the "f" representative of what they do to your data bill.

I called the number listed in the txt reply. I was greeted with normal bs diatribe, "Welcome to 1-800-free-411, a service of Jingle Networks..." followed by a shallow option listing. Cust service, media inquiries, etc... all of which require you to leave your information and they'll get back to you--I'm sure they *will* get back to you--in your phone txt messages.

Upon realizing I wasn't going to be able to speak with someone, whom I'm sure probably wouldn't speak english anyway, I called AT&T to light them up a bit.

The girl I spoke with was knowledgeable it would seem, very nice, and spoke clearly. She took all of their information, fed it in to the system, submitted a complaint regarding the texts received, and refunded me the, oh-I-don't-know probably $.21 charged for the messages. I felt she did *her* job. I hope AT&T does *their* job and follows up with this to help insure others don't get the same text goodness.

And to my good friends--well they *must* be if their texting me in the a.m.--at free411.com: Thank you for your kind considerations. During these holiday seasons may you receive everything you certainly deserve.
