People don’t understand that this SMS pumping fraud is organized crime on a mafia level. First, they attack your service to deliberately run up SMS fees (splitting the costs among themselves), and then they turn around and try to extort protection money by selling you a subscription to a service that "fixes" the issue. The entire fucking industry is in cahoots.
