Another SMS scam
After reviewing all of these spamming and sms scam cases, i have some thought about all of these cases.
Firstly, about the email spamming, although Window Live Mail and Google Mail are work hard on their filtering of spam mail and junk mail, but some of these spamming are still able to reach us. I will normally receive about 10 spam mail daily, both from Window Live Mail and Google Mail. The content inside are mostly the same, such like Free Download Software, Donation, or some rubbish information such as Friendster are closing soon, Window Live Messenger account are finishing etc.All of these spamming are actually annoying and cannot be fully prevent, and these causes us a big problem by cleaning up a dustbin that will be filled up daily. According to my mates, all of them are receiving those spammer's present and its seems like unstoppable. We can do nothing on it but just don't open and view it to avoid any issue such as virus or trojan.
Friendster account and Window Live Messenger are also a hot issue that being hacked by spammer and hacker. We are hardly to image that how are them are able to reach us, but it does happen. This hacking or hijacking are infriging our privacy, especially Friendster, which might content our private information. Window Live Messenger are now become the channel for spammer to build up their zombie networks. They try to send out their trojan to those user which are cheated by them and become their media to continuously infect their contact list.
Ok, here comes the SMS scam. We heard many about the phone call from mystery numbers and telling you that you win a huge sum of money from lottery or lucky draw from oversea company. And i think i need not further explain the rest and you will know what i am talking about. Besides phone calling, SMS scam might be another big problem for all of us. Mobile phone, is another device that are hugely used by our people, compare with Internet. Now not only Internet, even our Mobile Phone are also facing such sms scam. For example, My friend and I are experienced from a call which sound like doing survey, but the speaker are spoke with China slang. We guess that we are picked by random generated number from software and we just ignore it. Moreover, we also receiving some sms claiming that petronas are closing or Astro are giving cash bonus, and suggest us to giving our personal information such as IC number or Bank Account Number.These scamming are not only annoying, but might be useful to cheat those people which are lower securing sense.
So, we are better keep our mind clean and beware of any of those scamming or little trick that might cause us big losses. By living in this high technology world, we are not only enjoying the convenience it brings, but also the problem that we people incurred.
