Online/SMS frauds and scams - Important!!

    Good Day blog readers. Just for your information. I guess many of you have faced this situation as well. Online frauds and scams are everwhere nowdays. I also have received a scam SMS from Shell :
“RM0 .YOUR CARD  Berjaya & menangi hadiah GRAND PRIZE dr SHELL (M) Berhad RM20,000 RIBU No siri. XRXXXXX. Sila dail talian : 012-8613-667. www.shellmy.tk."
I went through the link website and it is active and looks real. (see below)

Scams and online frauds
     The best part on this website is the Malay language. The words and sentence used here are weird and funny. What I did was to call all the hand phone numbers stated on the website from my office number but no one took the call. Finally a guy by the name of Hj. Ismail answered the phone. The way he spoke looks like an Indonesian guy. He ask for my series number on my phone SMS but I told him that I will call him back later since my phone is not with me. I immediately called the Shell hotline-1 300 88 1808 and they have confirmed that it is actually a scam. They have reported this to the police but they also not sure why the website is still active and accessible.
    Guys out there, when receive this SMS, please do ignore!!! Don't get too excited by providing them all the information they ask ok!
SHARING IS CARING!!.....
