Avast there, ye scurvy spammers!
I'm pleased to say that I've contributed to the nailing of an SMS spammer - I had a letter through from ICSTIS this morning regarding a complaint I sent in a few months ago. They've been fined £15,000, banned from running premium-rate 'phone services for a year and forced to refund anyone who actually called the number.
The scam itself was one of those 'someone you know fancies you' things - but apparently all it did was keep asking you to guess, and always answering no. Also, the SMS spams failed to include pricing information (obligatory for premium-rate services), which was my grounds for complaint.
