China SMS Scam
Filed under: Things I Don't Understand WhyI’m sick of this SMS thing! I received many of them, from donate money for a good cause, or call the bank at a number they provided to confirm that you have spend XXX amount of money a few days ago, or call a number if you are interested in getting a loan at low interest rates, to miscellaneous lucky draw… whatever!! Another SMS scam that I received this afternoon… The scams tries to get you to respone to their message. Once you call back, they will try to work their charm to convince you to part with your money!
Translation:
“I am leaving today. I thought about it for a long time but still could not find the courge to call you. Call this number 125905869 and press 1 to listen to the song I have dedicated to you. There is a message for you at the end of the song. Do not call this number to find me as I borrow this phone from someone else.”
My name is Bibi Liew and I’m a third-generation oversea Chinese. I’m 30 years old, born on the 3rd of November and that makes me a typical Scorpio. I stayed in several countries and ended up in Shanghai for reasons that are still not entirely clear to myself... I came to China and work as an Expatriate in 2004. I am an Interior Architect and design Hotels and Club Houses in many Cities in China.
