Well not really a scam, just a spam nussance.

I got a text from a blonde female associated saying
"Vodaphone Promotion, it is free text weekend to 021 and 029
all and every weekend till March 06.
PASS IT ON. Send this message to 20 friends on 021 or 029
and get a Vodaphone top up of $50.00 to your account.

It stunk when i read it, and since I was busy I left it.
Had to charge my phone up with more minutes this afternoon
and the first thing on the Vodaphone announcements that you
are obliged to listen to was a warning that this was a
spam/scam.

Some clever little twerp probably help them with a severe
load test of there 021 txt network with this.
