annoying text messages from screwfix

[RobertL]

I'm getting repeated annoying text messages from screwfix about their new catalogue. I have "unsubscribed" at the website (as the txt advises) but that had no effect.

I don't see why I should pay to send "STOP" text to them, but if I knew it would work I might.

Has anyone else had this? I don't remember giving them my number or permission to txt it. I am signed up to the TPS.

It did with me.

I don't remember giving permission either. PITA.

I know that if you ever enter those prize draws which they regularly do, you go to a screen where your details are displayed and you're asked to confirm they are correct; *however* they also take the opportunity of adding default ticks to all the boxes where you give permission to them to do whatever the hell they want with your data, which includes crappy advertexts. So unless you spot that, they've got you.

Now you're both going to tell me you've never entered their prize draws, aren't you?

I never entered one of their draws - I must have given my number to a droid at a "trade counter", while not paying attention. Got one text, replied STOP and didnt get another. I dont know why they bother because they send me new catalogues in the post anyway.
