The truth about SMS.ac

SMS.ac - What they dont want you to know

Thanks lizard.boy for the tip on this story; The following information has been collected from a number of sources and I myself have contacted the company requesting additional information/comments. You know i'm not afraid to go there.

Internet Media Company SMS.ac says it offers free SMS messaging...however, upon investigation from several other websites, we have learned that nothing on SMS.ac is free. You see, SMS.ac is currently defrauding customers and operating in a criminalistic way. Michael Pousti is the owner of SMS.ac

You see, when you send an SMS via SMS.ac, the receipient must pay $0.55. Also, SMS.ac will send you 3 advertisements every 3 days, costing you $1.00 an Advertisement. Thats $3.00 every 3 days.

Think SMS.ac is a clean company still? Think again. Court Documents dating back to June 29th, 1990 have been discovered that accuse SMS.ac's founder of commiting fraud. National Scholastic Resources is the company that Michael Pousti was operating to defraud users at the time.

Michael Pousti also uses the name Michael Reller to commit his fraud. He works with a parner, Ramin Niakiani, or at least he did on his previous account.

We have learned that SMS.ac has the habit of making false database changes in order to bill users multiple times. Under rare circumstances (i.e. a good enough threat from a customer) a customer is refunded.

SMS.ac is currently being operated by Michael Pousti, Brandie Williams and Greg Wilfahrt. SMS.ac has been known to use frivilous lawsuits against sites like our own and others claiming that they reveal trade secrets.

I've never heard about SMS but surely I won't use that thing, it can really take money off of you in little time without you eve knowing, but still, isn't it supposed that for them to be able to rip you off, they need for example, your credit card number? if it does asks for something like that, you are already wrong just by giving something like that through internet, even if that thing does not steal your money, you just became exposed, I mean, you can't get money from me through internet, eve if you hack my computer you still won't get money because I always keep money in the real life.

[glow=purple,5,300]I have recieved emails from them and it was very annoying , so I decided to block all emails comming from them.[/glow]

I recieved mails from them too. Very annoying, indeed, Calumon. I also blocked them, and I never felt for their trap to join their service.

I almost said yes to SMS.ac but when I read the post about SMS.ac I said no and that´s all.
I except that other member that isn´t connected know about this.

I did joined a "free" messaging service. Don't know if it was SMS or other, the thing is that they charge you through your celphone number. At least that is what they wanted from me, but that service was not active outside US at that time so it was useless for me since I couldn't use it. There for, I didn't give them my number. I guess that saved me. Still lots of friends have joined that service. I'll tell them to read this tread. Hope some join the forum afterward.

[Mephistopheles]

You just redefined the word luck.

More members, more members, tell them, kill them all (alright, I got carried away).

Curious thing, I've never recieved an invitation from SMS (thank god) but if it is so "popular" to get people in, why haven't I get an invitation? any idea?

[Gamemaniac]

You don't have friends ...
already inside SMS.ac





In response to the post below:

Mhe...

(Too short for its own post.

[Mephistopheles]

Ah, friends sending me the e-mails, sure I forgot about that, I though it was ads, or the company itself mailing you, thanks gamemaniac.

I'm recieving more invitations.

I'm going to send them a mail about this thread. I hope they join.

Mephistopheles: It could also be because people know you don't own a Cell phone.

[Mephistopheles]

That's a good point too. Didn't you said you had blocked them, then how did you got more invitations? If you haven't deleted them yet, copy what they say to you here, just curious.

Problem was, I blocked them from my local mail client, not from the web-mail client.

Bumped so Yakov sees this, as he is sending invitations.

[Gamemaniac]

Not sure he will see this any time soon...

[Mephistopheles]

He might see it, I think he will enter at least in a month or so........ anyway, it's still pretty bad if he's sending invitations, we should probably try to contact him and tell him not to do so.

[Gamemaniac]

Send him a link to this thread.... XD
