Receiving Unsolicited Trading Messages on phone has become a nuisance for many Investors in India.
Traders and Investors in India are getting spammed with such “BUY this, BUY that” SPAM on their mobile everyday.
I used to get these Trading Messages everyday to my Mobile number, till OCT 2017
Then I found this solution that stopped such unsolicited messages to my phone.
After applying the below solution for about a month, I noticed the number of Trading SPAM messages kept decreasing and finally stopped in NOV 2017.
How to STOP Trading Messages on phone ?
- After you receive the Trading Message on your phone, report the unsolicited Trading Message to The Telephone Regulatory Authority of India, TRAI.
- Use the EDIT or FORWARD option, At the END of the Received Trading Message, INSERT a COMMA, followed by SENDER NUMBER, followed by ANOTHER COMMA, and INSERT DATE of receiving and forward this to 1909.
- If the SENDER NUMBER is not available, use SENDER NAME. Use copy and paste to make the process easier.
- The date format should be DD/MM/YY. eg. For 6th September 2017, use 06/09/17.
