I can't get rid of Predicto.com, which sends messages to my cell phone, offering points for my opinion as to whether celebrities will adopt children, who will divorce or reconcile, who has had plastic surgery, etc. The stuff of trivial celebrity nonsense. Each time I attempt to cancel this service through my cell phone provider, they reappear, like a bad penny, charging $. 20 per message and $9.99 for monthly service--none of which I've authorized. I've now contacted my provider three times. They cancel Predicto, but the charges reappear after a month or so. The Predicto.com website has no way to cancel--when I enter my cell phone number in order to learn my supposed password, I'm told I'm not a member, even though they just charged my cell phone provider a renewal fee of $9.99 and continue their text messages. In the words of Newman's Butch Cassidy, "WHO ARE THESE GUYS!?" Is there ANYONE out there who knows how to rid oneself of Predicto? If so, I'll buy you a new home (something that may need "fixing up").
You say that you are all about customer service, but I am still receiving you UNSOLICITED spam texts after many calls to your 'customer service' line demanding that you stop sending any texts what so ever.
I am assured that my number is 'black listed' but you still send them.
Are there any laws against this harassment?

Answer: Thanks for letting me know about that. I saw that site and was tempted to sign up. I hadn't though of getting spam texts in the middle of the night.
