Text Scam In The Philippines

Scams is not new to us. There are lot of scamming and swindling incidents nowadays, even here in the Philippines. Sometime we may hear or watch in newscast some claims that  they are scammed by someone they recently know. To avoid scam, simply do not trust anyone and never talk to strangers. That's the simplest way to avoid getting scammed.

Now I am writing this since just this morning I received another scam text message. I think several times already that  I receive such message. The Message Goes Like This .
        
          "KUMUSTA NA KAYO, ITO NA NGA PALA BAGO KONG ROAMING NUMBER NA BLOCK NA KASI YUNG DATI KONG GINAGAMIT NA NUMBER DITO NA KAYO MAGTEXT. MISS KO NA KAYO LAHAT DYAN. INGAT PALAGI. TEXT BACK."

To those who are not well versed with tagalog language and to those who are not Filipino I am going to explain what this message all about. The sender here is trying to convince the receiver that he is their relative which is working abroad. If you are convinced by him then the next thing you will know is you have been scammed.

Have you received a message like this? Well for me yup several time already. To find our what is his motive,  I was pretending at first that I was convinced by him and then interact with him. To my surprise he was asking for me to load his mobile number since Philippine load  of roaming mobile numbers in foreign land is expensive, especially in Middle East that is according to him(he was pretending that their cargo was docked in ports of Middle East at that Time). After that my last reply to him was "Are you Kidding? Scam Your GrandFather! Lols" He did not reply after that.

Just in case you receive a message like this, be aware or else you will be scammed. A friend of mine was a victim of the same strategy, she was able to send mobile loads to the sender who pretended to be her uncle. She just discover it when the scammer no longer ask for load, but money instead. She reported it to her aunt, the wife of his uncle and they called him right after.
