Tanong lang po.

What are their benefits for this? How can they earn money through this scam?

Sa tingin ko, once na makipag communicate ka sa kanila, sisimulan ka ng bentahan ng mga yan ng kung ano ano.

Or pwede din na pinapadala nila sa madaming tao at nagbabakasakali sila na may isa na mauuto nila.

Tsk tsk tsk.

"No thanks! You can keep it. I already have a Murcielago."

I've been receiving exactly the same message for several days already. I just kept on ignoring it until this morning when I woke up to that text message. I finally lost my patience and replied telling him that I will not fall for a scam.

Pareho lang to sa lotto scam. Sasabihin sa iyo mag-deposito ka ng kung ilang libo sa isang bank account nila para mapadali daw yung pag claim mo sa premyo. Kung nagpa-uto ka at mag-deposito naman ng pera, asahan mo parang bula na mawawala na yung kausap mo. Usually pakilala nila mga atty. daw sila.

Gaya nga ng sinabi ni egaysky, once you contact them, they'll advise you to deposit a certain amount in a provided bank account number, allegedly as withholding tax or facilitation fee. Tapos, pag nadeposit mo na, bigla na lang iko-close yung account at hindi mo na sila matatawagan (generally, prepaid SIM cards ang gamit, para untraceable.

AFAIK, wala pang nahuhuling scammers na ganito, kahit marami ng nagrereklamo. Either ayaw magbigay ng impormasyon ng banko or palpak lang talaga yung mga police investigators.
