D’Auditors of PGMA Charity foundation text Message Scam
If you receive a SMS text message similar to the one below, do yourself a favour and don’t respond. Should you respond one of two or both of the following will happen.
First of all, often the number you dial may be a recording referring you to another number which happens to be to a premium rate number and you will be charged on a per minute basis for the call and these fees can be quite hefty. In this case the actual call back number is a premium rate number.
Secondly, should you actually furnish the information requested, you could expose yourself to a number of other scams involving identity theft, advance payments fees and other types of fraud. Don’t get baited by these fraudsters.
Graeme Wearden offers some helpful hints on how to detect and avoid SMS scams.

UPDATE To UPDATE:
Please remember that 090 numbers are premium numbers. Don’t bother calling them unless you want to waste your money. You will be charged for these calls. Of course, if you want to talk to a bonified scammer go ahead.
Naturally, I am referring to the ones you receive in this type of email.

Chevron Gaming Board Lotto Scam
Another fine scam brought to you by Chevron Gaming Board and Olawole Williams. As has been mentioned in the past, I am amazed how an “undisclosed-recipients” email address can pick a winning number in a “Lotto” draw. Read more »
