SMS Scam Top Up RM30

Posted by on November 29, 2010  |  16 Comments

Did you know that there’s a scam going on from an international number claiming to be a loved one borrowing a friend’s phone to ask for top up to a new number?

Azri’s bro received a similar sms from the number +62 852 15790148 on 24 Nov with the SMS as per below (left pic): “Ni mak guna kad orng, tolong isikan mak top up RM30 di nombor baru mak ni no dia 0178343217,pasal mak ada kes di balai polis, Boleh tak cepat sikit kirim top up”

A few days ago, I received a similar SMS from the number +62 853 42566573 on 28 Nov with the SMS (right pic) : “Ni p’cik guna kad orng, tolng isikan p’cik top up RM30 di number baru p’cik ni nom dia 0128132863,pasal p’cik ada kes di balai polis boleh tak cepat sikit beli.”

FYI +62 is the country code for Indonesia. And when you call the listed local number, you will be directed to an indonesian language voicemail.

Here’s the list of numbers, do drop a note if you know more

  • +6285215790148 – 0178343217
  • +6285342566573 – 0128132863
  • +6285250887592 – 0128271042 (credit : Prasys)
  • +6285342566594 – 0128132863 (credit: @rognales)
  • +6285227681485 – 0128011374 (credit: lonjan)

Do be careful when getting weird messages like this. Make sure you check with the respective people. Google the number if possible and report to your local telcos about this.

For Digi numbers :
Tweet their twitter handle @Digi_telco with the number and text and they will add it to their anti-spam system. (Refer : here and here)

For Maxis numbers :
Please report any scam messages to donotdisturb@maxis.com.my (Refer : Maxis FB)

Got my hands on the new HTC HD7 if only for a few minutes to take a photo and play around with it.

A long time ago, I used the HTC Diamond for a couple of months from my old office which was running the old Windows mobile. Interface seems slick and I like the huge, crisp screen. The flicking between the screens are also very smooth.

Time will tell if it’s a good contender to the Android and iPhone. Microsoft, pass me a unit to review pls! :D

P/s: first time posting a blogpost frm my iPhone 4. Hehe

I got invited to Anya Hindmarch Tea Party by April who got it from Erin. Headed down to KLCC Sat Morning after waking up late because I didn’t set my alarm. Hehe sorry April!

Got there around 12.30pm (awesomely got from Damansara to KLCC in less than 30 mins) was greeted by friendly Sales Assistants at Anya Hindmarch KLCC. Was greeted by this awesome display of cakes and desserts below.

Red velvet cakes, dainty fruit tarts, truffle and macarons, all were gorgeously presented in such a pretty way (note the flowers at the back). I was so amazed at how they managed to fit 4 tables & chairs, the middle table for the food and a side table for drinks – coffee, tea and sparkling white wine (I believe).

And in the midst of all this, we were treated to a preview of the 2010 Autumn Winter Collection. Rows and rows of bags along all the walls tempting in their unique yet classic designs and colours.
