The Share-a-Load, PasaLoad Text Scam

There’s a lot of new text scam going around but this one I just got this afternoon targets postpaid subscribers. The MO is simple and easy but some folks might still get duped.

Here’s the screenshot of the text message being sent.

Of course, the tell-tale signs are there (sender uses a regular number for sending the message and so is the recipient). Anyone else encountered this kind of scam before?

    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.

    Received a similar message pero Sun naman. Good thing sanay ako magpasa ng load sa sister ko so pagkakita ko pa lang sa number na you’re supposed to text, alam ko na agad. Nireplyan ko na lang ng “Reported your number to the NTC for scamming. Di ako tanga na gaya ng iniisip mo.”
