GPST (General Purpose Scam Thread)
Is there a need for one ?
If this post sinks into oblivion we'll have our answer. But I note that there are quite a few posts asking "is this a scam". If there is a need for such a thread, should it be in the G&D or the BP ?
I've just received a text claiming to be from Vodafone informing me that I have 3 workingdays (sic) to redeem my points.
The obvious spelling error, and the fact that I'm not with Vodafone were a bit of a giveaway. Also the number it came from (07507 345093) is an EE number.

I find Apple remarkably good at putting them in my junk folder. Whenever I decide to purge it I am amazed at the number of toothbrushes I won from Boots, and the number of packages I never received because they needed more instructions.
As an aside, how can you tell the mobile network from the number?
