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

    As them to meet you sa DTI.

    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.

    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.

    not necessarily. last month nanalo ako. The sender was a 10 digit mobile number and DTI series was 4 digits. Yun nga lang ang napanalunan ko Crispy pata from Gerry's , pag (malaking) pera ibang usapan na yan...

    Kung ganyan kalaki halaga, magduda ka na. How will the company know that you are still the owner of that number? Napaka careless nila pag ganon. They shouldn't be transacting through text messages.

    Rule of thumb: Never give out any personal / bank details.

    who the hell is gonna give away 3 million pesos just like that?

    Even the largest companies with million peso raffle prizes will bombard u with commercials for months before the raffle date.

    and u even have to submit proofs of purchase.

    If u didnt join any contest or raffle, how can u be "chosen"?!

    Kung ang raffle ng bangko kelangan may account ka sa kanila and u have to have a minimum average daily balance para ma-qualify ka.

    Summa total--- nobody gives away big money for nothing.

    Di ako sumali directly. I called up their customer service to check, apparently they had a promo open to new card holders. I qualified because i purchased X amount within the promo period...

    hmmm nakakagutom. tgif!

    thats a scam, its true na dapat manggaling sa special number ng telco ang msg kung legit ang mga promos nila dahil coordinated lahat sa telco dapat, unless pang baranggay lang ang promo nyo, bka d na kelangan i coordinate sa telco

    She just laughed and deleted the text message.

    Scam yan, nangyari sa cousin ko di naman nakwento. The atty. asked my cousin to deposit 15k to their account.Yun wla na ung 15k. Sa akin naman sabi ko to call me to kasi wala akong load, ask them to deduct the communcation expense to my winnings eh ayaw. so scam talaga.
