[Scam] Predicto

Hi everyone,

I just got three text messages from Predicto, 654-654, asking to enter a pin number or type yes for a prize. I did some research and my advice is to NOT ENTER THE PIN OR TYPE YES if you get a text message from them.

Supposedly they'll get your number if you enter it via an online survey for free stuff, however I'm very careful with my information and would NEVER give out my cell number on some free internet survey.

From what I've heard, they charge you $9.99 on your wireless bill if you enter the pin number or type yes.

I did a whois on the domain and it's registered privately.

I'm going to call verizon wireless tomorrow and make sure that there will be no charges.

Does anyone know anything else about these guys?

So I guess I should be complaining to rackspace about this company hosting on their servers.
