how does "stop" translate into "OK charge me $10"?

BTW have you entered ion you phone number online anywhere that WASN'T an online store?

Nope, I NEVER give my number out unless its for a secondary contact number for legitimate online job applications (Best Buy) or for major services where it's likely I won't be home to take the call (Student Loans/Financial Aid).

You are wrong, I told my wife to just leave the message and at the end of the month she got charged $10. I was going to call Rogers when I got the message but got too lazy. These spams are BS! I wonder if rogers can block all these type of spams? I'll ask my bro-inlaw when I see him about these type of spams and update back.

UPDATE
He said nothing fido can do to block them. He also state that Fido rep will most likely not give you credit back.
