sending pictures via phone to email addresses now carries verizon spam

Suddenly Verizon is appending spam to all my pictures sent via phone to any email address, including to my facebook account! Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any solution?

This spam is it along the lines of going to Verizon website to view them? If so no there is not at them moment.

Here's the text, copied and pasted:

"This message has been sent using the picture and Video service from Verizon Wireless!

I can't find out from Verizon or anyone else why this obnoxious, intrusive spam is suddenly appearing . . . It's infuriating.

As far as I know that text has always been added on if you send a pix message to an email. When I had Sprint it did the same thing...

It sure does, and it's not too annoying when sending to friends and such, but now that Facebook has instituted the pix upload to an email rather than a text code, it's showing up on all my picture uploads. Can't it be an option, rather than just automatically tag it on to the end??

This Verizon spam seems only to be included on some messages - not all. Has anyone determined what triggers it's inclusion?

It looks AWFUL on my blog! But not every message with a picture gets it.
