I've had the you've won a holiday or £500 spam before but not this one.
I can text back "GO" to join or "STOP" to opt-out. Cynical me says you'll get rucked for texting the STOP option and just delete the thing.
Anyone else had this?

They're just trying to see if the number is active so if you reply (prolly doesn't matter what you reply, no-one'll read it) then they can spam you big time.
I always delete them, never reply. Same with unsolicited e-mails.

But this one is just plain crafty 
"Sorry I missed your call, give me a call back on this number when you have time (Premium Rate Number)"
No name, I wonder how many people call the number to see who they missed a call from and no I didn't before anyone asks
