stockpicks text # 312-52 & Verizon wireless also it seems another one is ipadtrials.info was another text I recieved I was charged $9.99 for not replying to a text? & Verizon seems to think that is my problem for not responding to text??? winter garden, Florida

Beware!! I recieved a text from 312-52 Stock tips: Professional stock picks???? on Jan 5,2012 never opened it till I got my bill from Verizon wireless . I had a charge for $9.99 and the lady said because I didn't reply stop I was charged $9.99 . I told her I never even opened the text because I had no idea who 312-52 was she said it doesn't matter it was sent to me and i should have responden to it. I complained and said it wasn't right that I have to pay because I didn't respond to a text and never opened it. She told me she would credit me 5.00 but I said I shouldn't have to pay a penny. She told me Verizon supposably  has a class action law suit againts them but I feel Verizon is in on the deal because why would they only credit me $5.00????  I hung up and looked for info on google and nothing at all !!!

 So I called Verizon back and talked to a guy named Stefon and he basically told me the message went threw and if I didn't want it I would hae replied back????  I told him how could I reply when I never opened the message.  He respons was maybe you need to start checking your messages!!!!! Verizon said they will put a block onmy phone for text but how can a big company back up a scam before there customers unless they are involved??? I would like someone to help me and find out any information aboul this 312-52 text or if Verizon is in with the scam????  It seem maybe they credited me $5.00 maybe that is there half of the deal???????? I have been with other companies and never had this happen to me before.. People need to beware and make sure they respond to scams before it cost them..  I can't see how this is leagal all you have to do is text people and if they don't respond charge them $9.99 someone is making some big time $$$$ of this scam!!  Thank you for reading and I hope someone can stop this before other people get stuck paying like I did!!
