    Be wary of another scam on text...

    I got this message from my kids cel: "Congratulations Your sim no.won 1,000,000.00 pesos frm.PCSO electronic raffle DTI-permit no. 4204.Call now Mr. Joerge Alanza Ds no. 09174660620"

    The message was texted from that same number din.

    Meron bang taga GLOBE sa tsikot na pedeng mag-triangulate ng phone na ito?

    I am advising and checking my friend from the DTI on this text din.

    Naku ayan nanaman yang mga scams na yan! My friend recieved that kind of message a year ago and from a certain Atty. din! We called the number and the person answered and asked me if I was the person he was looking for. I said yes (kunwari lang) then he stared to tell me the mechanics... He needs the account number of my bank (kuno) then he will deposit the money there! Alam ko na scam kaya nga pinaglaruan ko sya! I gave him a bogus account number of a bank.

    Kadalasan ang tinetext nila yung may mga postpaid numbers! I dunno lang kung pati pre-paid numbers pinadadalhan. I called Globe regarding this matter and gave them the number that was used to text. Unfortunately, the number was a pre-paid number so they have no way of tracking. They said that they can shut the number down but eventually, the person can buy a new sim again!

    I overheard it from the AM radio one night that the new targets of these scams are OFWs from different countries! Una na nag reklamo isang OFW from Hong Kong.

    Kaya dun sa mga Tsikoteer friends natin who are OFWs or have OFW relatives and friends, please warn them of this and just ignore the text! The people behind these scams usually have insiders from different banks! If they can get hold of your bank accounts, it will be easy for them to withdraw all your money. Ingat lang mga friends ha!

    Parang kulang kasi kung ignore lang. Mas masarap perhuwisyuhin, baka sakaling mabaliw sya sa frustration.

    I received also such text messages last year. Yung huli, nag-reply ako. My text back went this way "Wow, ang swerte-swerte ko talaga! Pangatlong panalo ko na sa raffle sa araw na ito. Kahapon, dalawang beses. Alam talaga sa taas ang hinagpis ng buhay ko. San ko ba pwedeng i-claim ang prize?". Ayun, di sumagot at di na rin ako nakatanggap pa uli ng text scam.

    Hehehehehe di nila siguro akalain na maiisahan mo sila sir Ooba! Yang mga scammers na yang ginagawang tanga ang mga tao! Kala siguro nila na madali pa ring kakagat ang mga tao sa mga text nila! Ayan naglabas na ng warning ang Globe regarding this kaya hopefully naman wala nang magpapaloko!

    Ang hirap kase malaman where do they get our numbers! Sa bagay, alam ba ninyo na me nagtitinda ng mga contact details natin para maging "leads"! Balita ko nga sa bookstore merong kopya ng leads for sale at 300.00 daw! grabe no?

SCAM ALERT: Text scam 1M pesos by PCSO daw
