Be Weary of SMS Messaging ScamsSMS messaging is a convenient means of communicating with friends and family. Similarly, businesses are discovering that it is a very effective method of notifying their customers about their latest offerings. One of the unfortunate side effects of the increased popularity of SMS messaging is the fact that scam artists are finding a way to take advantage of this relatively new form of technology. Take, for example, the people that were sadly taken advantage of in Malaysia. Several residents in the country received SMS messages claiming they were the lucky winners of a drawing or a lottery. Just as with the email scams that have been making themselves around the world for the past several years, these SMS messages prompted the recipients to send in a large amount of money in order to claim an even larger amount of money that they supposedly won. Sadly, many residents of Malaysia have fallen for the scam and have found themselves quickly parted from their hard earned money. Some of these unfortunate individuals were even duped twice when, after noticing the money wasn’t deposited into their accounts, called the scammers back to find out the problem. The scammers then requested that the victims deposit a “processing fee” into another account –thereby robbing them of more of their money. As with any form of technology, it doesn’t take long for scammers to find a way to use it to take advantage of others. Therefore, it is important for all mobile device users to exercise caution when receiving a message from someone they do not recognize – particularly if they make promises of great financial gain that sound too good to be true.
