I got this text from 07765 165359 at 7.32pm:

Our records indicate you may be entitled to 3750 pounds for the Accident (sic) you had.To claim for free reply with YES to this msg. To opt out text STOP.

Remember the Accident Group which fired its entire staff by text? (In fact they didn’t…I saw the actual message and it simply warned against trying to draw wages. But newsdesks across the country wanted the more dramatic version so it became a fact)

These spammers know that out of every 100 random texts they send, at least 30 people will think they’ve had an accident. And even if you text STOP, you are simply confirming that your phone is active.

Everybody has to earn a living but this is pretty low…
