Are you receiving txt spam? The answer is more than likely ‘yes’.

The process for reporting txt spam is quick. Send a txt to 7726.

How the complaint is analysed to track back to the originator has recently stepped up a gear due to a new partnership.

The DIA has entered into a public private partnership with an international reporting service to track spammers and fraudsters breaking New Zealand’s anti-spam law.
