New TXT Scam Targeting Mothers

[macsd]

Emergency is done with a call thus it's emergency. It's a known fact that txt can have delay is sending or sometimes it does not even get through, so that's a risk of failure in txting. Besides, in cases of no response from the individual being communicated to, the norm is authorities (police, barangay tanod/chairman or hospital) will deliver the message by call or physical presence.

This is just another style of the budol-budol whereby they target the maids through call. But since their dealing with the mother, this time they won't use a call cause the mom would recognize child's voice so they use txt.

Grabe naman kayo manghusga kagad. Some folks are a tad old, and I bet pwede sila maniwala sa ganyan. Di naman lahat aware sa ganyan eh. I bet yung lola ko papaloadan yan kapag nagkataon. So its our responsibility to let them know that scams like this actually exist.

I agree. Yung tita ko naka-bar phone lang. Nacharge daw sya LTE. Malay naman niya ano ang LTE. Sinulat na nya sa papel ang procedure to "refund". Buti naitanong nya muna sakin bakit daw may chinacharge sakanya

BEWARE OF THIS SCAMMER!! 09089105437

Thing is, di naman ito registered number kundi disposable number lang. Pag buking na palit lang ng SIM. So more like it should be "Beware of this modus operandi".
