Ang rule diyan eh, basta no cash out, and you ask the questions, and let them answer.

As them to meet you sa DTI.

Naku po, luma na yan.

Imposibleng manalo ka sa panahong ito na wala ka naman sinasalihan.

I received an SMS message this morning.

"Congrat's Ur Simcard # had won P580,000 thru elect/raffle Promo draw 08/28/07 Pls, Call me now. Im, RAFAEL H. CHAVEZ Frm: Millionairs Club INc. DTI per. 2243s07" This is from +639287315662

For me this is a scam. Di ko na lang pinansin. I did not hide the number because for me the sender does not worth respecting.

The name must also be a fake.

Scam. I got the same message months ago while I was in Cairo.

Exactly!

If this is a true promo, the sender should only have a 4-digit number because this is coordinated with the telco. If it is from a standard 10-digit mobile number, it is a scam. I heard this over the AM radio. SOme one interviewing DTI. If I remember correctly, the DTI promo number is 6 digits. according to the radio program.
