FCC Complaint Filed Against Top Level Position

In the last few weeks I've received four spam text messages from Top Level Position, some new network marketing company. I have no prior relationship with them and I pay (a small amount) for each text message I receive and they mask their phone number as 313-131 so I assume they're being sent from a website. Their domain name registration is hidden by DomainsByProxy.com

The last message was: "(TopLevelPos)Top Level Position is launching RIGHT NOW!! Log in to your back office, click the upgrade button and start getting paid! www.toplevelposition.com"

I've (rudely) posted to twitter about them and yesterday I posted to their facebook wall that they're spammers but of course, by today it was removed.

Today I filed a complaint with the FCC against them using this online form. I don't know if it will do anything but it felt good for a minute or two.

Anyone have any success in dealing with sms spam? I already don't give out my cell phone number unless I know the recipient.

Only that I called ATT twice to have them turn off texting on my acct completely when Apple enabled it. I'd received 3 spam texts within days of the functionality being turned on and I don't have texting on my plan.
