SMS and phone spam can be EXTREMELY annoying for (Palm OS) smartphone owners. The virus threats are not the main problem, the main annoying thing is having to delete off all kinds of porn and scam spam off your mobile phones-multiple times a day, if the spammer hits you hard. Callback spammers are yet another form of scam-thry call you, you call them back and pay loads of cash for calling them back. Woo-hoo!
Anyways, a few austrialian teens ganged up on such a spam gang and started publishing news about their tactics all over Australia. They expose the phone numbers used by the scammers, scammer countermeasures and other interesting tidbits.
The web site of the group is:
