i also received a number of text scams from fake winning entries to a message telling me about a roaming number and that the texter would send money, etc.

i guess it’s better not to reply to these scumbags coz they’ll just keep on bugging us. just IGNORE these idiots and take note of this blog post’s guidelines about a typical scam.

it’s also difficult to trace these scumbags since it’s quite easy to buy sim nowadays coz it’s very cheap- hence, disposable.

even if we want to text these scumbags to scram or leave us alone, they’ll surely just bug us with other tactical messages to get the better of us and our money.

just ignore them even if you feel like cursing them.

Hello everyone,

I’ve received a text message yesterday October 19,2009 this is the message content: Mabuhay! The CFPhils Div. OFC informing your roaming # had won 40,000$ during electronic draw Pangkabuhayan 2009 para s kababayangg OFW/OCW..CFPhil…RCPC Bldng. 8th Floor, Roam 803, Makati City, Philippines as per DTI permit #3264 series of 2009: Call rightnow Rhea Palmares her cell # is +639393844228. After 1 day they sent another text message saying I have to claim the prize in 72 hours . When I called them they said I need to send 750.00$ on the Wester union for the money transmittion Fee. Then after 15 minutes they said I will recieve the money for the same Wester union. Now I asked them why should I need to pay the said amount. If I am really a winner then they will send the money. So meaning it’s just a scam.

Please do something about this.

Thank you,
