I know there have been some threads about spam texts, I didn't realise it has its own term 'Smishing' (as in SMS/fishing). Anyway, I got one today - a text telling me my paypal account is suspended and to click this link to reactivate it. Blah blah, not falling for that one.
Anyway, I will usually try to forward emails like this to the relevant company's security department, but wasn't sure what to do with texts, so looked into it and found that most phone providers allow a free text to 7726 (spells 'spam' on the number pad). I thought I'd share this with everyone in case others felt compelled.
