Mobile phone spam

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

Mobile phone spam

Post by Paul Carmel »

This is a bit of a new one for me.

Spam on my mobile for a holiday rental and sales site :twisted:
Not a happy bunny about this! As it costs me to tell them to piss off!! It came from eureka247.com via my mobile phone.

I am looking into a way of shutting them down via the host, so if anyone gets one please let me know
Cheers

How did they get your number? Is it on your website?

Wow... in the US that's illegal, since it costs you money. I got one telemarketer call on my mobile, and I said, "hey, this is my cell phone," and the guy profusely apologized and I've never been called again on the cell, by him or anyone else!

Anyway, that's the route I'd take toward getting them shut down -- reporting them if it's illegal.

Just recently I too have had 3 phone calls on our mobile from UK companies promoting their hoiday rental magazines...probably the same company because the promotional pep talk is exactly the same!
