What is this scam?
Just received message ("recommendation") of a link to entering competition with Aerlingus, so I followed the link, was asked to enter my mobile number, which I did and received some "pin" code number to enter. Did that and received message that I will be charged 7.50 Euros per week until I text "stop" to a given number. I promptly did to get rid of this scam immediately only to find out that those 7.50 Euros have been taken from my credit! Unbelievable! Why is someone not prosecuted for this - obvious - scam?
