Text scam targets Pinoys w/ 'roaming' UAE phones - Pinoy Abroad - GMANews.TV - Official Website of GMA News and Public Affairs - Latest Philippine News
From: Jonathan Diaz (jonmdiaz@yahoo.com) in Washington, USA
I have received a similar txt message from a Philippine based number that I have won 2 million pesos in an electronic charity raffle.
Here is the message: "FROM: +639283732360 CONGRATS. YOUR SMART PHONE NO. WON 2 MILLION PESOS IN 27TH ANNIVERSARY OF PHIL MULTI STATE CORP. ELECTRONICS DRAW IN PHILS. CLAIM YOUR PRIZES CALL MIKE VALDEZ #09283732360 THIS INTL. RAFFLE DRAW IS INTENDED TO ALL PILIPINO OVERSEAS WORKER WORK ABROAD MABUHAY PO."
I believe that this is a scam even from the first time I've seen the message. That is why I went to find a reputable office such as yours to help me spread the word to all Filipinos with roaming numbers to be cautious with this kind of scams from the Philippines.
I really appreciate your help, and more power to you.
