"The Federal Trade Commission said Thursday it had filed eight lawsuits in federal courts around the country against companies it accused of ordering or engineering the sending of hundreds of millions of scam text messages to mobile phone users. "

Yea but they will never say a word about all the unsolicited spam that comes through the US post office.

I've been getting them at midnight. That's fun.

thats the worst gettign more junk mail than actual mail.

It's about time even here in canada i get these from the US and it was ubber annoying lmao

The FTC does not have a problem with junk mail since the USPS is a corporation that promotes the practice. In fact, it supplements revenues and keeps the cost of regular mail down substantially. You would be paying $1 or more per stamp if it were not for junk mail.
