Be smart! Be alert ! Do not get conned off your love and money by those virtual Casanova's.
If you are offered something which is unbelievable, beware, it could be a trap.If you need to pay any money to get it , then it is most probably a scam .
Never hand over your hard earned money to anyone even if it is a sob tale or some hard up stories from your virtual friends.They are mostly lies to con you off your money. Once they received your money , there will be gone or until you get suspicious that it is a scam.
Those syndicates can even SMS (short message system). Damned! I got one SMS from a syndicate which said about Petronas contest and winning a first prize for my SIM card number.
I knew there were scams but the telephone company M billed me for the SMS.Imagine being billed by those syndicates for something which I never asked! They tried to cheat me and M robbed RM$0.30 from me !. @#%&
I complained to M and I had to crawl through those computer answered messages.It was damned frustrating to get through to them. Many would just let M keep the 30 cents.
M even had the cheek to bill me for another SMS asking me to upgrade my phone for WAP , which I did not request.
This is downright illegal .If you did not complain because it is a small amount, the company would make a big profit since they have millions of subscribers.
Scrutinize your bills, the companies can just add in those charges and pretend not to know about it until you complain.
