A review on a post on Legal from My E-Commerce blog

Another SMS and New SMS Scams

Scam and spam has been feared by many due to untrustworthiness of those scandals. Many are victimized by the tricks of SMS scams claiming that they have won prizes which they didn't. Those scams are mainly to con into getting money without consent. Many of these are advertised via SMS or e-mail because those medias are frequently used by many people. Thus, it is easier to prey them by using this trick.


From the blog review, I think that due to the widespread of scam cases, most people with mobile phones should beware with them. Thus, I completely agree that government should help lower the case of scamming. In fact, there are many parties can help lower the SMS scam by alerts and mentioned in the blog; be aware when disclosing financial and personal Identity Number.


Next, scams happened almost everytime. This is why new scams always occur. Statement such as 'memenangi hadiah' is used to persuade mobile users to reveal their identity and account informations. Lately, many cases from Akademi Fantasia SMS scam are noticed by public. This is getting serious until ATM machines are forced to send out alerts.


Overall, the blog is a good and it alerted us to beware of upcoming increasing number of scam threats and new scams found especially from Indonesia and other neighboring countries. It is hoped that many readers will take precaution of the hoax.
