Text Scammers Actually Sell Their Stolen Load

It’s frequent that i receive message like what you have mention. http://iloveyou-mydear.blogspot.com/

Meron pa bang naloloko ang mga ganyang modus?.

another is they pretend to be a relative working abroad and would say they found a lucrative business there or they’re in an urgent need for money, i have friends who were victimized by this scam T_T
the family of my friend who just went to dubai thought it was really her and gave 20k, later on they found out it was a scam
my other friend thought it was really his friend; promising 20% return, he gave 60k @_@
they’re pretty crafty, so if you will not ask the right questions, you’d fall for it

i should be a millionaire by now having received text messages that I won millions in the lotto. dont be fooled, how can i win without even betting on the lotto. pero madami pa rin ang naloloko, eh paano walang silang common sense or ang sense nila di common. one may nagtex na i won 480thousand sa GMA foundation lotto, at naghingi pa ang load para mag usap daw kami. i replied na he can claim all the 480thousand at kanya na yon at tulong ko na un sa kanya. eh un di na sya nagtex. at sinabi ko sa text na bulok na ang style nya.

ka recieve ko lang din ng text na nanalo din ako 780k…sinakyan ko,..sabi ko..”Talaga?!! Wow! Do you have a landline where i can call you Atty.?”

Ayon..di na sumagot…hahahahhaha!!!

Ang engot naman nung nagpapadala agad ng load kahit di nila confirmed na kilala nila hehe. In the end, tayo lang din makakaprevent na maloko ng scammers na ito. Natural, bakit ka magpapasa load sa hindi naman kilala.

“@yuga – Any comment as to how they get your numbers in the first place? Could it possibly be that our numbers are sometimes leaked when we sign up for promos in establishments?

I seem to receive more than most I receive messages concerning; seminars, hotel promos, raffle winnings, OFW relatives, etc . . .

Rather annoying, although some are fairly amusing when considering the daftness of the message.”

Excellent point! Of course our numbers are sold by Globe and PLDT to 3rd parties who then sell it around and eventually it gets into scammers hands.

I have a hunch na they have a computer set up to do the spammings. I’m getting spammed frequently din pero may pattern. Most of the time the same text are repeated per month (yes per month) although pabago bago ang numbers. Spams ranged from cashloan from same companies/persons to ads to raffle scams. In my case, I believe all these senders shares the same computer. Either that or the senders are just one person. Hence I’m hoping for the sim registration to be passed.

Di kaya pakawala din to ng mga telcos?

I received a more creative one targeting postpaid subscribers. I was informed that I won a postpaid subscription rebate and that I would be sent a verification code on the next message to verify that my account is a winner. I would then need to forward that “Verification Code” to 808.

The verification code is like this “091812***** 200”

You would not know its a scam if you are not familiar to the PasaLoad number.

You would know its a scam because the number came from an unknown number instead of the usual “SMART” sender name that Smart uses. Instead, they simply put the word “SMART” inside the text message.

I think they have insiders leaking the numbers, because on one of my new SIM, I got a spam message an hour after I plugged in the new SIM into my phone.

makarma sana ang mga taong gumagawa ng ganito.

I’m sorry, I bought load from a seller at 40% discount last year… Mga 2000 pesos worth of load din nabili ko…

Nakapost din sa net mga ads… Dibale ngaun di na ako bibili… Halos wala na din ata silang load na mabenta…

Uhm… Nasa congress, senate, city halls na mga biggest scammers naten.

These are just small fries…

I received text messages like that regularly. Once nakipaglaro ako sa kanila. I introduced myself as a 10 year old boy. I also told them na na-Ondoy kami. But still they asked me na mangutang para ipambili ng laod at ipadala sa kanila. TALAGANG MATITIGAS ANG MUKHA!

I have been a globe prepaid subscriber for 5 years at nkkatanggap din ako ng mga you won from this raffle and send me load text messages.pero for a period of 5 years, as far as I can remember mga 3 or 4 messages lang naman. so I can say na tahimik buhay ko.now here’s my problem which is really really getting into my nerves, just recently Feb 12/11 to be exact, I applied for a post paid plan. would you believe from the moment na naactivate yong number 2 text messages agad natanggap ko? hinayaan ko lang kasi baka wrong send lang. but that’s not the case at all kasi almost everyday until now nkkatangap ako ng mga texts, offering loans, healthcards,that binay is in dubai, text about pinoy, etc.2 to 3 messages a day.I called up globe which by the way ang tagal mghintay at ang sagot baka wrong send lang then I explained that no it’s not kasi ang dami and almost everyday.sabi ko wala ba akong karapatan ng katahimikan? para bang nakapublish yong number ko and kung sinong gusto magpadala ng text messages pwede at ang sagot simpleng globe can’t do anything about it.that they protect their subscribers and that I am the only one who owns the number.(gago! excuse me readers, sobrang nakakainis kasi) if globe really protects their subscribers then why can’t they do something about it?I was advised to call NTC.hello??!!isn’t it unfair? gusto ko tuloy magsisi bakit nag postpaid pa ako.by the way tumawag na ako sa NTC yesterday. I was asked to send my complaint through e-mail for the right procedure.for those who are also experiencing this heres the contact number of NTC 926-7722 e-mail o****@****.*** address to Engr.Froilan Jamias.

Last time I got a text like that I wrote back all excited and say this was my last load – send some so we can continue to talk – they sent 10 peso and I blocked them :)

Since I knew from the start that this one is a scammer, I decided to ride his “joke.”
This one is trying to get 10k from me on a business proposal.
Just posting this so people will be aware.

Obviously, Post paid plans sell leads to this businesses to spread those messages. Its like email spam we probably receiving every single day. They are making money out of this leads.
