    Just got a text from VM(I think)

    It said

    A Security patch is available for ur phone. Go to virginmobileusa.cushelp.com/app/answers/detail/a id/5662 for info and instructions on how to download
    The fact that they used "ur" instead of "your" made me question if it's real or not. Virginmobileusa.custhelp.com is a legit VM page, but just incase, has anybody else gotten this?

    At first glance this message looks very very suspicious. Let me count the ways.

    1. Software upgrade? Since when do they push them out like that?
    2. A subdomain? A rent-a-service-center site, implying they can't even host their own content on their own domain?
    3. Bad grammar? Duly noted, although they often abbreviate.

    Upon further examination it seems legit, but seriously. They should know better.
