GAWD! At 2:30 this morning, someone out there decides that my car needs to be washed. So they send me this spam advertisment for a place that doesn't even exist. But wait! It gets better! I don't even have a car.
Another one at 5:52. "Get laid TONIGHT! Dial X-XXX-XXX-XXXX". Now that one was a shocker. But here's the shocker. Yesterday, at 1:00AM. My gMail Mobile app starts a complicated series of chimes. "You have (1) New Message". So naturally I open the message, expecting to see some funny joke my friend sent me. But not this time. In my tiny cellphone display screen, there was this hot pic of some japanese girl I don't even know. I never give out my cellphone number to ANYONE except my family. Any recommendations as to how I could stop this? (besides get rid of the phone.) Cheers, Daniel

Was the picture sexually explicit?

I think the problem has something to do with the fact that you gave your number out only to family members and yet you still thought your friend could have sent you a message.

None of my friends know my cellphone number. I just got it last night.
Cheers, Daniel

Stop having your gmail go to your phone.

It's probably because the phone number belonged to somebody else beofre yours, and they must've had some perverded friends...

Oh. Well then I think it's obvious that the spam is coming through gmail.

I found a solution.
They switched my phone number, and things seem to be going ok. I still have the same gMail, but no spam. Cheers, Daniel
