I have the same spam from sms.ac[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#10)

My moms phone has been getting spammed msgs from sms.ac 3-4 times daily.. I got my AT&T bill and noticed every SMS msg from sms.ac I am charged 25 cents which came up to $55 in charge!! I was furious so I called AT&T which told me they can't do a damn thing about it and I have to call the merchant. I found out the merchange was m-qube.com so I went to www.m-qube.com. I called there # in Boston and got the operator who gave told me to email m-qubesupport@corp.sms.ac to get it resolved. I have sent them a email yesterday so I will see what happens with those charges and spams.

Refuse to pay the bill[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#12)

Why did your mother pay that bill?  I would have refused to pay the bill and if AT&T made an issue out of it I would take them to small claims court to defend myself.

If enough people do that to AT&T, they'll take care of the problem.
