I now received spam on my phone too! I was sitting here working on my thesis when I heard the phone rang in the living room. It immidiately stopped, and there was a WAP Push message in my inbox. Obviously, the ringing was only for getting attention. The message said:
3 FREE Ringtones!
and the url for the message is http://no.widelive.com/index.wml?cp=17
Obviously, if I go to the address stated I will be downloading something (I do not trust it to be ringtones, and I'm not that interested in it either). Is this the new way of spamming people? I have never heard of this kind of spam before.
Btw: The number the call came from is: +911815011829
I too received this odd message and tried to find the site but it would not come up. failed search. I wonder now, what can it do? Retrieve all my info from my phone and what can we do to stop receiving these messages?
My thoughts of what it can do are either:
1. It might be just a dummy download, but which will cost $$$ on your mobile account.
2. It might be some software which phones somewhere and by that cost $$$ on your mobile account.
3. Phone somewhere and upload address book information.
Anyhow, it would be wise to not go to the URL by using a mobile phone.
Not much to do to avoid getting these messages, I’m afraid.
