Just Another SCAM Text Message..

Tweet

Just received a text message this morning which obviously, is a scam. It says: "Congratulations! Last june/19/11 Ur cell# had Won php 750, 000+ LapTop Frm: PCCNS DTI# 8231 S.2011 CALL me Now! 2 claim Ur prize. IM atty. MARK L. MENDEZ." This was the exact text message. Note the wrong punctuation marks and the erroneous usage of the capital letters, yes it's just a text message but at first sight we can already tell that it's a scam. In the first place, I never had joined any raffle draw or contest before that involves my celfone number. The scammer even used the title "attorney" so that the reader will have this mentality to believe that it's not a scam, coupled with very attractive prize package, to further entice and lure the reader. What other scam text messages do you know or had received in the past? If it happens that you're a fellow myLotter and if you're reading this, I only have three words for you- God Bless You!.. Whoever you are pls stop that stupidity, your scamming style is already a stale modus operandi, people will only ignore your text messages and I assure you that you will only end up with nothing. You're just wasting your time and load. For God's sake, Please have a LEGAL job or business instead. Texting is a very common thing in our country here in the Philippines. It became our tradition as we constantly like to have close family ties but as we know, when there is god then there's also bad. There are people abusing and using it for their Modus Operandis to deceive millions of their fellow Filipinos. tsk.tsk.tsk.. disgusting, isn't it? Dear fellow myLotters, Do you think it's about time to make or promulgate a law to at least lessen or much better to eradicate and to stop these Modus Operandis? even though it's not a National priority? if not so, then what the heck are the NTC (National Telecommunications Commission) have been doing? Or, What do you usually do or say to yourself every time or if you had received a scam text message, like the one above? Please share your thoughts.. Good Evening to all.. God Bless!
