SMS Scamsters should be hunted ?

Written by Robin on April 5, 2009 Categories: Alerts, Scammers DB Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Scam is a very big issue all the time. People loose maximum of their money with Scamster’s. Ofcourse, its because of the greediness of a person. Anyhow the only solution is guiding the public about the possible scam scenarios to get rid off these problems.

Not only in emails its now started with SMS too. Lots of advertisements and Scam messages started to fill the mobile inboxes these days. below is the best example for such Scam SMS. All i would say is stay away from this kind of messages and never look at the open sky to get a fortune…

Recent Mobile Scam:

Congratulation ! Your mobile has won $3 million in the 2009 Heineken Premium Light Mobile Award. To claim , email your details to heinekendraw@hotmail.com

If you have received any such sms or email with different email address then please report it to us by sending an email to support@ethicalhackers.in . We will update the email list with this webpage to alert the EH Visitors.

Will there be any steps taken by the cyber crime to solve these issues? These Scammers must be hunted for sure. will update this post with the necessary countermeasures sooner…

Update  1:

These people get your mobile number or email address from the websites or forums you normally register with to access some services. For an example if you have used your mobile number in a Gaming website then it has high possibility to get used by Scammers. I didn’t mean all the gaming websites. Websites that didn’t pass certain Trust related services are the best one to know here. Avoid using real email addresses or mobile numbers while registering for some online gaming, casino kind of services. Temporary email addresses will really help to overcome this issues. Google for Temporary Email Accounts to get some temporary email services to protect you from this kind of issues.

    I GOT THE SAME EMAIL FROM liveheineken@live.com THAT I HAVE WON 1MILLION DOLLAR.
    i have sent my id proof to that email . so plz tell will there be any problem? or how should i face it?

  • Robin says:

    Mr.Khan, Kindly ignore further call or mail from them. Still found any problem with those people then warn them that you are going to approach local cyber crime department for necessary action. Thats enough to make them stay away from you.

    Right now this is the best way we found to suggest you as a solution. Hereafter please have a look at the Internet Jungle !

    - Robin

    and asked them whether that message was genuine.

    Here’s their response:-

    Dear ABC,

    Thank you for forwarding us the message you recently received.

    Unfortunately, the Heineken brand name and logo is often misused or fraudulently used for activities in which Heineken N.V. and its operating companies, including Heineken USA, are not in any way involved. In some cases, even the Heineken logo or other imagery is copied and used for these purposes to give the impression that these offers are genuine.

    With regards to the message you received, Heineken USA wants to emphasize that we have no relation to the described lotteries, prize draws or job offers, nor is it connected to any organization(s) that distributes these messages.

    Our parent company, Heineken N.V. reports fraud like this to the relevant authorities and asks them to investigate the origin of all these messages. Heineken N.V. also asks for measures, if possible, against such organizations.

    Heineken USA strongly recommends that those who receive messages on these alleged lotteries, prize draws or job offers do NOT open any documents attached to those messages, do NOT respond in any way to such messages received and hence do NOT give any personal information or bank details.

    Thank you for contacting us.
