Lucky Numbers And Gadis Lucah!

I've been getting quite a huge number of junk/spam SMSes for the past few weeks. And it's becoming very annoying!

Just last night, I received an offer on special 'lucky' cellphone numbers that I can bid and another one this morning where I could subscribe for 'Gambar Gadis Lucah'. Seriously! I have no idea where these morons got my number from. I rarely give out my number to strangers... and I get pissed off when I'm in a middle of a meeting or an urgent work or sleeping peacefully in the middle of the night and my handphone beeps, only to find rubbish being sent to me.

It would be helpful if my phone has a spam box, just like email so I don't waste my time reading spams. But at times, these junk SMSes provide some comic relief... I have on a few occasions received SMSes that were wrongly sent to me. One from a couple who just broke off and wanted to meet up... all in Bahasa Indonesia! LOL!

I have a feeling someone or a company is selling information to another party. Just recently I came across an ad on The Sun about this person selling 10,000 updated email listing and 1000 updated phone listing at RM100 for each listings. Isn't that illegal? Where did they get the sources from?

I think it's really unscrupulous of them to do such things. I wonder if I could sue these people. I might even get rich... hehehe. I guess it would be hard to really pinpoint the exact source of the people selling my details, which I suspect very likely come from credit card companies, maybe phone card kiosks (selling pre-paid and reload cards) and perhaps even banks!

Oh well, until there really is some kind of law, I guess I'm just going to have to get used to receiving SMSes for all these so called 'nude picture' offers and get rich schemes coming to my phone. At least some of them do provide some form of entertainment :)

  12. sometimes, if you ever put your blue tooth on, unrecognize people's would certainly take advantage by sending some XxxXXX file which boleh jadi virus juga. So better turn it of, and only ON it when you need it.

  30. I'm with Marzie on this too! Even the ringtone offer sms pun I get annoyed and irritated. What more to say the lucah lucah punya. That's so awful.

    Kadang orang2 kerja in telecommunication companies sell email and phone listings to telemarketers tu! So jangan lah you heran if those pesky telemarketers call you up asking you buy/join this and that. That's how my friend gets clients. Serious!
