The Share-a-Load, PasaLoad Text Scam

actually nadale ako ng ganto dati sa Smart yung baguhan pa lang ako nagka-cellphone :)

ang modus message ganto.

“Congratulations! You have a pending load waiting for you. To claim, send 0918xxxxxxx to 808.”

Ginawa ko, tapos may confirmation na dumating.

“You have successfully transferred P10 worth of credits to 0918xxxxxxx. Thank you for using PasaLoad.”

nawala sa isip ko na kapag number lang pala ang nilagay mo, default un na 10 pesos lang. badtrip talga ako nun..buti 10pesos lang..ahahaha

I’m pretty sure these scammers and spammers are using softwares or even apps (nokia store has one) that spams.

It has a arithmetic/consecutive pattern. (Example 091780***** then 091780***** and so in). Our family owns 3 numbers that are consecutive and we all receives spam in a consecutive manner. I’m pretty damn sure if Globe is not lazy, they have already put up a system that will block the spammer at his 11th outgoing text. And I’m pretty damn sure that no matter how coincidentally it is, your phonebook won’t contain more than 10 numbers that are consecutive.

This is one more reason why sim must be registered to an owner.

Yes, I have experienced it before! So tempted to reply that the sender was an idiot, but why waste P1 doing so?

Yep, why waste one peso. Kahit free text di ko bibigay dyan. Hehehe

got the same message from the same number: https://twitter.com/butchcastillo/status/228499968695083008

Marami pa rin pala ang naloloko sa mga scam na ganito.

Ako pag nakakatanggap ako nga mga ganyan binabalikan ko rin.

Tulad nung mga sasabhin sa text “si Kuya mo to may pinadala akong box dyan na padala nyo, kaso wala na akong load para matawagan ko kayo baka pwede pasahan mo ako ng P100 para ma contact ko kayo kung kailan darating”

Ginagawa ko reply ako “Kuya baka pwede pasahan mo ako ng P5 para ma txt ko sayo yung prepaid card no. sayang to eh P500 nabili ni mama para sayo”

What happens next this stupid scammers will fall in to my trap ayun libreng P5 papasahan naman ako.

Tanga din kse yang mga yan eh kung magpapa uto ka talo ka pero kung wise ka din you can SCAM them right back

Only an idiot would fall for this trick.

Nakakagulat na meron nabibiktima ang mga sms na to. I ignore these messages. Pati offers for personal loans and franchises. I ignore them all. Magsayang sila ng load for all I care. The only one that irked me enough was the Sam scam. First message pa lang alam mo na scam. She promises to do “anything” basta bigyan mo ng pamasahe. Nakakairita lang because she is relentless. Odd hours magsesend ng message. I was ignoring her pero nagmimiscall at the wee hours of the morning like mga 2 or 3 or 4am. Nakakainis di ba? I searched online on how I can have her number blocked. Found the email for NTC. I emailed NTC and they asked for copies of her messages – which I provided. Ayun, wala na si Sam. Now all that’s left are the personal loans, franchises and the eto bagong roaming number ko what not.

I received this kind of message too! Hahaha!

I simply replied: Great! Kindly give all my prize to a reputable humanitarian institution.

No reply from sender.

GEEZ!

hahahaha!

This is a VERY OLD TRICK and why r people still so naive? In KSA, it’s much worse! U will get a message with recepient’s company name (say Bank of KSA) and not just an unknown number on your inbox. After they’ll tell u to pick up the prize on this location and bring passport etc… They’re using some computer software to hide their number and replace it with a name or company they wanted to represent.

Ito nman sa akin ?
