Es bringt etwas, Scam-SMS der Bundesnetzagentur zu melden:

"wir kommen auf Ihre Beschwerde vom 24.09.2024 mit unserem Aktenzeichen […] zu einer unverlangten Kurznachricht zurück. In dieser Nachricht wurden Sie über eine angeblich vorliegende wichtige Nachricht Ihrer Bank informiert […]

Die Netzbetreiber, in deren Netz die Rufnummern geschaltet waren, haben die Abschaltungen bestätigt. […]"

Ist zwar langsam, aber immerhin…

Jetzt benutzen die schon beide Bezeichnungen, um weniger als Bullshit aufzufallen. Funktioniert trotzdem nicht, denn ich habe keine Kinder, zumindest weiß ich von keinen, aber ich wüsste auch nicht, wo die herkommen sollen. Wenn ich welche hätte, wären die auch nie und nimmer alt genug, dass die einfach von alleine einen Vertrag abschließen könnten.

Soll ich spaßeshalber mal abwarten, was in 12 Stunden passiert oder gleich blockieren und melden?
