What is the "5555 Vzw Free" text?
Jwinthrop
Newbie

I received a text on my 4s that said I needed to reply 5555.  It used improper English, so I'm suspicious.  "Irregularities were found, to prevent your account to be blocked, enter now at http:/my-vzwireless.net16.net".  Is this real?   Is it a scam?
