Deja vu. We had this happen with our phone bill courtesy of Residential Email. Now it's hapened with texting. Yay.
Luckily this came in the evening, so I heard it.
97956: U requested daily inspirational texts. Sub service is $9.99/mo +

Me: STOP
97956: Inspiracell alerts: You have been opted out and will receive no
further messages or charges. Support: 877-874-3564
(No, I didn't request anything of the sort. I have a Bible- and a library card for that matter.)
This one came the next day early in the morning. I didn't hear it come in. So I unfortunately got the incredibly creative inspirational text.
97956:Enjoy your daily Inspiration texts, alerts billed at $9.99 per month!
To quit, send STOP to 97956. For help text HELP. support@inspiracel.com.
97956: Enjoy the day. Think of the good things, forget the bad ones.
Me: STOP

Yeah. Right.
We called the carrier, got charges removed and a purchase block on. So hopefully this is over!
My husband and I had a debate going. I thought I was already signed up and had to text STOP to not get charged $9.99. He thought I signed up by texting STOP. I don't know. Sounds like a lose-lose situation to me.
I don't think I've even done any surveys or signed up for anything in years. Apparently, companies can put in the fine print that it's ok to send your names to 3rd parties who may or may not charge you for random pointless garbage you won't want. If charges apply, I want a checkbox. Otherwise, it's a scam! Or entirely legal dishonesty. Whatever. Scummy.
Report it!
