Poll Text polltext.com Poll Text is a COMPLETE SCAM and being ASSISTED BY TEAM MOBILE, Internet

I have read Polltext's rebuttal and their double-opt out system is obviously not working.  I do not respond to unsolicited text messaging services and did not opt into this one.  

However, I will mention that Polltext did reimburse me for the $9.99 they charged to our phone account and I do appreciate their speedy response.  

I would ask that Polltext checks their opt in strategy.  Team Mobile mentioned that this is not the first time they have encountered this Polltext issue.
