Yeah, I was thinking the same, Are these people going to start sending advertisement to our phones, and push install their crap without the user being able to choose or even erase it???
Certainly not something I'll be happy to deal with
besides for account payment notifications I have honestly had like maybe 4 or 5 text messages from them in like 5 years...

I think most of us agree with your sentiment, but we choose to have a little satirical fun with the topic - many reading this topic may have axes to grind & we want to make hay of that.
So yes, it is a known scam, foisted upon us by our carriers, who are scam artists.
