...was just browsing an article on Facebook (actors who turned down iconic roles or some such) then received an SMS saying "hi you've just subscribed to Smart World costing $6.99/wk on your next bill. Au.smartworld.mobi. Opt out SMS Stop to 19789115".
Needless to say, I didn't as I didn't know if texting the 19789115 was then going to incur further fraudulent charges, but it's definitely a number being used by scammers
