SMS Spammer at it again

Have been copied on an email from a concerned Clansman who was receiving SMS spam, he opted out and is now back on the list. He has also asked where the service provider (who sign their emails as Racing SMS Services) got his number.

Have these people no shame........????

A disgrace to racing.

Yip, can confrim that I also got the SMS'ses - Strydom has 4 winners lined up, Venter is on song today, Delpcech has 4, etc. etc.

i got one from budget insurance. do you think it might be related to tips from jockeys

They are either incompetent and/or arrogant, and showing all the 'bird' !

May i suggest when instructing them to desist from sending you this unwelcome/unwanted communication, you refer them to Section 45 0f Act 2002, which states :

45. Unsolicited goods, services or communications

(1) Any person who sends unsolicited commercial communications to consumers, must provide the consumer-

(a) with the option to cancel his or her subscription to the mailing list of that person; and

(b) with the identifying particulars of the source from which that person obtained the consumer's personal information, on request of the consumer.

(2) No agreement is concluded where a consumer has failed to respond to an unsolicited communication.

(3) Any person who fails to comply with or contravenes subsection (1) is guilty of an offence and liable, on conviction, to the penalties prescribed in section 89 (1).

(4) Any person who sends unsolicited commercial communications to a person who has advised the sender that such communications are unwelcome, is guilty of an offence and liable, on conviction, to the penalties prescribed in section 89 (1).

If this fails, report them to the relevant authorities and take action.
