SMS Spam
There has been allot of problems with spam on cell phones in Japan and surrounding areas. Its nice to know that the local government there has finally stepped in to do a full investigation into the problem that has plagued everyone there.
We've recently come across a spam posting (See below) advertising a service that pays affiliates to spam people on their cell phones. This service is called Earn By Ads located in India, and has their hosting currently provided by SouthWeb Ventures. From what I can find is that this sefvice psys the person that signed up to advertise (spam) other cell phones and only if the person that got spam signs up as an affiliate or willing subcriber to receive these messages.
Now why would anyone be a will participant in this type of business? Certainly not for the little money that can be made. People that are on the receiving end of the ads (spam) are the ones that have to pay for it through higher cell phone bills.
Here is a couple of spam postings that I ran across on anothjer site that I thought was pretty much oblivious to spam postings.
