Just not funny any more.
If we're going to make you a great offer, well send you a TXT or PXT ourselves. We'll never do a "Pass it on" TXT campaign to get our message across.
So if you get a TXT about some fantastic deal that needs you to pass on a TXT to qualify, it's a hoax. Don't be part of the problem by passing it on. Just hit the big "Busted" button, and delete it.
We take a very dim view of hoax TXTs, because they waste our customers' time and money. Remember, we know who sends what TXTs, so it's pretty easy for us to track hoax TXTs back to their source – and we WILL take action against people who start them.
Take a look at the hoax TXTs and emails we've seen over the last few years
It's easy to spot a hoax. They always fail the "Yeah, right" test. They're usually about a deal that's too good to be true, or an early warning that every mobile in the world is about to blow up or be shut down by a virus, or that you've been randomly selected to win millions of dollars.
Yeah, right.
They often try to sound important by using impressive-sounding statistics and technical terms, or claiming the story has appeared on a reputable web site.
If you want to report a hoax TXT, just forward it to 777 for free, preferably with "Here's a hoax" or something at the front so we know that you know that it's a hoax. We can add it to our list, and start tracking down the person who started it.
Otherwise, just delete it.
