Scams!

Why do people waste their time on scams? Are there people out there who still fall for scams? Well I'm just wondering. . . and I sincerely hope nobody is still that gullible.

Two days ago I received a text which states thus:

"Congratulations, you have won N150,000 your no. is among the 42 lucky winners of la casera drink bonaza ticket no. 60.call 08069049283 to claim your prize"

Imagine! The scammer(s) must be . . . I am looking for the right word to post here . . . but I am short of words. The first thing I thought of doing was to send a text back for the scammer to try again! Well, I just chose to ignore the text.

Then again, some minutes ago, I received another text that reads thus:

"Congratulation you have won 10 000dollars or one gsmpaklogo you r pass is 0789 ; Call Now this number 0043820899395"

Now I know for certain that these people have lost it! O! After trying me with N150,000 they thought I'd move for 10,000! Chei! I really pity them. Another thing that turned me off was the fact that the scammers have a poor command of English language and grammar!

How can these fraudsters be brought to book? Any ideas?

GSM Again

Yesterday I tried to make a call to hubby who is out of jurisdiction. As soon as I placed the call, the next thing I heard with a very aggresive voice was "you have inssufficent credit to make this call. Please load an all in one card. Thank You". I said to myself "that is impossible. I have enough credit to make this call and even more". I checked my balance and saw I had N1115.06 credit!

So I tried again. The same voice with the same wrong message. So I loaded another card.

I tried again and the same message! At this point, I just concluded that the whole system was faulty. But why am I been told I have no credit, when infact I have credit in my phone?

Please to all you GSM providers, improve on the quality of your service.
