Update on Finnish SMS Spam case Posted by Jarno @ 09:55 GMT | postCount('00001785'); Comments

We checked for updates on Mobile Tube page that was linked by SMS spam we posted about on Tuesday.

Now the fine print says that service is free of charge and by using this service user gives the company
rights to send information and promotional messages in the future.

Interestingly enough the page used to have company name at the bottom, that is now removed.

If the fine print on the page can be relied on, the SMS spam messages are now rather harmless.
But we still advice people against clicking on any unsolicited links they receive over SMS,
as the company behind messages still tries to use the page to legitimize any further advertising messages.
