Vodaofne customers beware
Hoax text message
We’ve found out that there’s a text message being passed around claiming that Vodafone is giving customers free credit in return for forwarding the text on to their friends.
We haven’t authorised this message and it didn’t come from us.
Please tell your friends, colleagues or customers who may have received a text like this that they shouldn’t send the text on to anyone else, but instead pass it on to our VSPAM service. This can be done by forwarding the message to 87726.
VSPAM is the tool we use to combat mobile scams. You can send any suspicious messages you get to VSPAM, and we’ll investigate. It’s free to Vodafone customers

TBH I'd imagine as soon as people read that Vodafone are giving out something for nothing they will realise it's a hoax.

Well, yeah it is. When you text that number you no doubt get charged £1.50 and whoever operates the number makes at least £1
