That’s just rediculous. All companies that offer txt msging services always send a confirmation txt after you send them a “stop” msg, to let you know you won’t be receiving anymore msg’s. I’m pretty sure it’s a scheme conjured up by the two to try to get easy money. lol

Just like there are probably a few honest lawyers.

That way lawyers will think twice about instigating any lawsuits.

I mean, maybe you sent it by accident, or didn’t know what ‘STOP’ would do, it makes sense.
But seriously, they got charged for ONE EXTRA text message. So they should be suing for like 5 cents… if anything.

This is standard practice for just about any SMS service. I really hope this case gets thrown out for being completely ridiculous.
