ExpatFacts.ch ??

Hey guys,


In the middle of today I started getting text messages from an Orange phone number saying thanks for signing up to ExpatFacts.ch and that I would now get updates every hour from their extensive database.


The info was generally pretty dumb shit like that Switzerland has 4 official languages or that 44% of Swiss autoroutes had been made from stone from the north face of the Mont Blanc (I'm sure...). So basically I'm getting phone spammed.


When I responded with the cancel code it was like "To ensure you are human please tell us your favorite animal."


I figure this is some attempt at phishing, in which case I will just hope that it stops by itself - the website obviously doesn't exist either.


However, if it for some reason doesn't stop - What do you figure I should do?


Thanks in advance!


Best,


Andy
