I have been getting texts in Korean to my phone. Does anyone know of a service where I can forward the text message to a service which will translate it for me?

Why? I'll do it right now. Pick one:

1. Internet Games.
2. Mortgage Loans.
3. Unsecured Loans (Loan Sharks)
4. Services where a guy will drive your car home if you're too drunk.
5. Sex

Anyone got any more?

I get a text message from my bank(in korean) everytime i use my bank card. Also, if you went to a business and wrote down your phone number(for whatever reason) they will send you text about upcoming specials or whatever. As for your question, i don't know of a service that will forward it in engilsh.

Those are the most common kinds of spam text messages people receive here.

Most of mine are about internet sites for gambling.

OP just ask a Korean friend. I can't imagine that there'd be a service here for that, not enough Engrish speekers here for there to be any demand for that...
