They text you using a smart number with this text message this one sent by 09297306762:
SMARTPlan:
Congrats! U are the one Postpaid line, Given a 50% Discount billing, to get your 50% Discount bill, please forward this message to 8088
Ref # 0709297306762 60
If you just scan through the text message (the way I did) you'd probably think this is for real or really from SMART since it states "forward this message to 8088" and we all know that 4 digit network numbers are for real. When in fact what really happened was that you just did a PASALOAD of P60 to the number who texted you since he inserted his number after the "Reference number" below the text message which in this case is 09297306762.
I didn't know this could be done since if you do pasaload you just enter the recipient's number, space, then amount, then send to 808, what I didn't know is that you can actually manipulate it to look like that and end up sending load to these thieves.
Here are 4 numbers who have been texting me, they probably do not use this on a daily basis but then at least I have tried my best to warn the public on what they are doing:
1. 09302711215
2. 09072293918
3. 09297306762
4. 09306516802
Please tell your family and friends about this.
Thanks!
