Texting Scam

My daughter (10 years old) just signed up to receive text alerts (and a joke service) from the company named jokesstandardrateplan.com.
They started a monthly charge to her cell phone for their service (6 text alerts throughout the month), even though they have a disclaimer that the person needs to be 18 years old or have permission of their parents - we knew nothing about it and only learned of it when her cell phone beeped with a new text alert.
They automatically charge your plan, and even though my daughter was only on the plan for less than 2 hours, they said they can't credit my bill - they will have to issue a refund check. I was not a happy camper.
So tell your children to beware and don't type in their cell numbers - they will get charged.
