i.glide.me/join or i.glide.me text spam alert

I always get random text messages from numbers telling me to sign up for their "free cash" or their loans. I usually just ignore and delete! Well a couple weeks ago I receive a text from a familiar number for i.glide I didn't click on the link but instead looked up i.glide. Turns out its an actual program for video messaging or something similar. The problem is, is that the person who "sent" the text didn't even know that she sent it. What happens is anybody who installs the i.glide app from the apple store or the google playstore automatically gives the app permission to send out a massive text to ALL contacts on their phone list. Just like the same message I received about trying it or join me on i.glide. The problem is, is the unsuspecting people who download it, don't read the fine print that says the app WILL send a text to ALL of their contacts! So when that happens it sends a link to your contact list with a text then those people download and get MORE text sent to contacts. It's the never ending spam chain! Next time you get a text with a link with an app or website. Check first if it's really being sent by the person or if its an app sending it. Sometimes it could even be a virus doing the same spam text just like in email messages when they say don't click links well don't if its a text either!
