Default Unsolicited Premium Rate Messages

With Vodafone now having the short code SMS bar which their customers are able to add to their accounts, the scammers are finding a way round it.

I posted a thread of the eForum asking advise on a video message I received and they did not even bother to answer my question as to whether it could be a scam.

Curiosity got the better of me, I downloaded the message only to find it from a site called 'TOTAL EMBARRASSING'.
