I have received text from this # 1 - 2 times per week-Thx for visiting our website. I was told if I don't respond and just hit clear that it would end.  That has not been the case

Try blocking the number through your cell provider.

Spam text message received on Verizon cell phone, allegedly from 201-736-8425, despite my number being on the Do Not Call registry.  Text reads:
"As Thank You for visiting
our site, a $25 Wal-Mart
Gift card and $25 Visa Gift
Card CAN BE Yours.
Call 1-866-869-2132

Or visit LAPTOP33.com
2end reply stop"

I never give out my cell number for any commercial purpose or on any web site.  Will report these numbers at donotcall.gov
