SMS scam again!

That kind of text message has been around for many years already and I have received that many times before. I just usually ignore them but one time, I was in the mood to ride on their scam. I replied saying something like this in Tagalog, "Oh really? Keep it up (his scamming). Don't bother to send me packages, let's just chat in the computer........you'll die too someday liar!" Hihihi....I love it when my maldita side is brought out by very irritating people.

Hi chiwasaki! I think I've received all kinds of sms scams already! I've also received a similar scam like yours, also from someone pretending to be an OFW. Sms scams saying you've won this amount and the texter was an attorney or something and that you have to call him to find out the details of how you can claim the prize. Sms scams saying they are your family or friends borrowed a cellphone from a stranger just to be able to text you to ask for load because they are stranded or something. It's really annoying. Actually in our office, we are suspecting that someone is pretending to be someone and scamming anyone from the office! Someone has already pretended to be me and sometimes pretended to be another person asking for load. What's more annoying is that they are so believable that they are successful in their con. There was a time I replied to a scammer saying I've won something. I replied and said I will report him to NTC. It didn't affect him. He just sent me the same message again saying I've won something. Really unbelievable, frustrating and infuriating.

hi chiwasaki, Well I don't received about this roaming scam but before I received that they were met an accident and need load or I won in a raffle promo and need to call them Since I am aware of this I just ignore it happy mylotting

I also received this kind of text messages many times. At first I thought it was true, so I tried to call back the sender set in mind that she is my relative overseas.The sender didn't answer my call even I called many times. So I didn't send the prepaid load she ask for.Fortunately I did not lol! Lately after hearing from my friends and relatives,I found out that it is a scam.

Hi chiwasaki! Seriously, this people really do the darnedest things! I've experienced that. The message read: "I'm here now in Japan but I forgot to load my cell. Please send me 300 load so I can call Nanay." I really don't understand what's wrong with this people. Do they just do this for fun or is it that they don't have anything better to do in their life?

yes I have underwent lot of scam messages like this but I mostly ignore it because most of friends and relatives will only make call and are not too used with sending messages so I can find it out that it is a scam message. These kind of scamming has become very popular now a days. I don't know why people are sending messages like this to cause trouble to others.

I get this kind of sms in my number all the time. hehe i am not replying to it and i am actually just ignoring them. i remember my brother replied to the number and then there was this person he knew who can check the location of the sim card and it was told that the sim was in Bulacan province. so what he did was that he sent an sms telling so you are currently in bulacan and you need to be "roaming" in bulacan?! haha

In fact it is quite common for us to receive the SMS or call scams here. I don't know how they get our phone number information and I really hate it. It is quite annoying. This is why I hardly pick up an unknown call. If it is a SMS scam, I will just delete it right away. I love China

I also receive this kind of message for how many times already and thanks that I've never been a victim of this. One time I tried to text back and ask some details, the sender didn't text back and didn't answer when I tried calling. But my mother, she almost fall in this scam, coz she taught that its our relative abroad who texted, thanks that my brother was able to interrupt her transaction!

I got the same message once, and never replied to it and totally ignored it. Pity are those people desperate enough to do such things. well, theres always good and bad karma to the actions that we are doing today.So let karma do the job for those people .

I got many sms like this,i'm an indian and i got some messages like,i have win 1 lakh indian rupee in there contest or some thing like i know they are scam and i don't try to replay this type of nonsense..,

Whenever I get these types of messages, I would text them back and ask them what my full name is or random questions about myself. They usually don't reply but since my load just goes to waste on expiring a lot since I don't text much, I spend it on these scammers. This is also the reason why I really don't like cellphones that much.. lol I think you can report these types of scams, I found a link that might be useful if ever you encounter this, here's the link: http://www.pinoymoneytalk.com/report-sms-scammers/ Be careful always and never trust a stranger!

I haven't receive the same message but last week I received a text message informing me that I won a certain amount of money from a raffle draw. It says there that i should call him because he is a lawyer. I didn't join any raffle game so why I should won something. weird right? But I know it is a scam message so I just ignore it.

I received such text messages before. They even call you early in the morning and late at night. I just usually hung up.

The best thing to do is just to ignore this kind of text messages. Common sense alone would make us spot the inconsistencies of the message. I once received a text message carrying the same substance like the one sent with you. I just couldn't reconcile the idea that a person working abroad had enough money to buy expensive appliances to send but no money to buy airtime load. Now that there scam tactics are exposed, expect that they will think again of another way to fool people to get their money. I notice however a common denominator why these scammers are so effective - they all appeal or play on the human character called greed.
