I have just entered the 21st century.  I have changed my mobile contract 
and got a new phone that has video capability.  And suddenly, out of the 
blue, I am getting video messages arrive from unnamed senders in my 
phone.  They come from http://w03.v762.net which is registered as 
below.  The messages are videos, which doubtless cost me money that I do 
not choose to spend, and are videos that I most assuredly do not want

I've no idea how or why these messages started and wonder if anyone has 
any advice for me.  I have emailed the relevant email address, but see 
no hope of a reply.  Vodafone tells me that I will have to pay any 
charges associated with these messages - messages that I do not want and 
never asked for - and that I have no hope of recovering the costs or of 
not paying.  I must reply with "STOP" to the sender.  But there is no 
"reply" option to the messages!

Help guys!
