Are you receiving unsolicited texts?

You may have received an unusual text recently.

Two of the text messages purport to come from the website loveislandgames.com and https://www.starwins.co.uk – both online gambling sites.

The text messages read something like this:

“Thanks for adding your card at loveislandgames.com. Hop back onsite + deposit 10 to play with 30! TCs apply. Txt LISTOP to 84988 to OptOut.”

We’d suggest you don’t be tempted to “text LISTOP” – or anything else.

You could find yourself hit with a high charge for that text – on top of your providers own charges.

Remember, sending unsolicited text messages is illegal in the UK.
