Someone emailed the other night wanting to know how to block unwanted text messages.
I checked with one of my resources and here is what he said:
"IF THESE MESSAGES ARE MOBILE TO MOBILE, IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THEM… WHY? THE CIPHER SYSTEMS FOR SMS ARE A JOKE AND EASILY HACKED… ONLY WAY I KNOW TO STOP THEM IS CHANGE THE PHONE NUMBER AND/OR SET UP A SECURE PASSWORD (USING LETTERS AND NUMBERS AND CHANGE IT LIKE EVERY 3 MONTHS) CHANGING THE NUMBER IS THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION… A HUGE PROBLEM IS WITH THE BLUETOOTH DEVICES AND IT'S GOING TO BE A GROWING PROBLEM… COMPLAINTS TO THE SYSTEM PROVIDER AND OR FCC PROBABLY WON'T DO ANYTHING… AND IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM… YOU GET A MESSAGE TO CALL ANOTHER NUMBER… YOU CALL THE NUMBER AND IT REDIRECTS YOU ANOTHER NUMBER ASKING YOU FOR CONFIDENTIAL INFO ABOUT YOU, YOUR BANK ACCT. NUMBERS ALLEGEDLY TO VERIFY THIS OR THAT PIECE OF INFO…. "IF" SOMEONE COULD COME UP WITH A DEVICE, SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE TO PROTECT USERS, SOMEONE COULD MAKE A FORTUNE…

Q: Hello,
I do not see this company on your website. I am skeptical because they want my bank account info and it sounds almost like a money laundering scheme. Could you please let me know your thoughts? This is their website: http://www.capitalsrv.com/index.html
