Anybody else experiencing this? I'm getting offers every now and then to download free paid apps and all those scams.

Anyway to block em?

They gotta be from an app you have downloaded. I havent experienced them - for that matter on any android phone Ive ever had

Yeah, must be from something you downloaded. I would start with any side loaded apps, and go from there.

Try an app called airpush detector. It will scan the phone and let you know which apps are responsible for this. Hope this helps.

I was getting that on one of my bionics. I don't remember which one off hand. Which means it was associated with the phone number assigned to the phone. I use Google Voice, so standard text messages come to all my phones.

I got one today saying I Had been chosen to win a prize....went through filling out all the information to find out I had to "try" 6 different offers! They all cost money! No Freakin Way. It said they select one Galaxy Nexus every day.....How do they know that I have a galaxy nexus?! I don't have any different apps on my phone than I did when I had my Bionic.

Just used the app someone mentioned and I'm shocked to find out that it's Flikie Wallpapers HD! They just did an update last night. it's got Airpush. NOT Cool...that's like the only place to get good wallpapers from.

*Edit* I just went to the market to rate Flikie a 1 star and complain and found i'm not the only one having the problem. looks like their new update took advantage of the loyal users.

Apps generally are able to read what your phone reports as its model. I think it requires one of the permissions, but I know apps can do it.

Wow I have not updated flickie but that totally sucks. I will uninstall and just get wallpapers from other sources.
