Saw this ad with new (to me) contact method that raised red flags.  I couldn't figure out a way to search TER to see if valid provider.  Yahoo (and my gut instinct) say its another type of ripoff.

Yahoo Answers has this info:

How to respond to an ad on BACKPAGE using the "anonymous text message" service?
I would like to respond to an ad in the female escorts section of backpage.com, but all the ad refers to is to use the "private anonymous text for contact. Send the word 'tango' to the number 22428 answer YES, then ask for a name"; but nowhere says how to contact the "private anonymus service" If anyone knows the answer of has any clues, it will be very much appreciated.

To text to 22428 is a psychic hotline...I'm dead serious; No joke.

You'll likely see an unexpected charge appear on your cell phone bill.
