An SMS arrived about connecting a service that you did not order?

SMS to any of the telecom operators, be it MTS, Beeline, Megafon, from numbers 770860 (the last digit can be from 0 to 9) with the connection of services. For example, I received an SMS from number 770869 with the following content: “You are connected to a subscription on the site mnogobits.com. I somehow did not pay much attention and immediately from the number 770860 another message comes: “Tel. 8-800-2004601 (the call is free). The cost of 160.87 rubles. with VAT / 192 hours. To refuse the SMS STOP service to number 770860 (sms free in the home region). " I somehow did not have time to answer him. Then the next day, another SMS comes from number 770867 with the following content: “The loadroomrf service has been extended by 140 hours” and then again another message comes from number 770860: “Information about the service 8-800-200601 is free.” I thought that maybe they were mistaken, and so far I did nothing. But apparently the scammers due to the fact that I do not answer, something hurt. A few days later, from the number 770860, the message “Tomorrow your subscription to the service on mnogobits.com will be renewed for 8 days. Support service 8-800-2004601 (call is free). The cost of the service is 160.87 rubles. VAT included. To unsubscribe from SMS STOP to number 770860 (sms free in your area). "

Here then I pecked at a trick of scammers began to call on the specified phone. After all, I didn’t connect to any subscription. There the machine politely replies: “Thank you for calling the PM-INVEST campaign support service. If you need something, then type 0, if you need something, type 1, ..., or wait for a response from the manager. Then for some time the call rings, and the answer that at the moment all the managers are busy, call later. Or refer to the support site smsrf.ru. I called later several times, the result is the same. I realized that calling is useless is a divorce. I checked the account, they didn’t seem to withdraw money. Then he poisoned SMS to the number 770860 with the word STOP. As a result of all this upheaval, 320 rubles were stolen from the accounts.

I went to the site of this so-called campaign, wrote an angry letter that I did not connect to any subscriptions. And I got a message on the box about how you can connect to such services. But essentially there is no answer.

I looked through the information about this campaign, it turns out that not one such “Burdock” turned out to be. There, people also write how they were bred for much larger amounts. In general, there is a complete divorce. I even imagined how much they earn. If 320 rubles were removed from my account, and if, so, 1000 people were cheated, then this is 320 thousand rubles.

I wrote all this in detail so that other people would not follow my example.

Do not reply to SMS with short numbers, as well as those numbers that I mentioned above. In the MTS office, where I turned to, they could not explain anything about the mechanism for withdrawing money from the account. I just blocked my SMS number and calls from short numbers. And it seems until the money is withdrawn.

I wonder if you can find a council on them, and how to do it? After all, this campaign is unlikely to be found, and does it exist officially?

Thanks for working on the forum.

Thank you for the article! Interesting. This information should not have been slowly disseminated to the media by law enforcement agencies. You understand that the amount of losses incurred is not significant for the "hit." Not everyone will lose time to contact the authorities, and they will not rush to take measures. Most likely each episode (the appeal of citizens) will be denied excitation and everyone will calm down on this. And scammers will come up with new options for "divorcing" people!

Yes, it's easier if an incomprehensible SMS is simply ignored and that's it.

The work of some legal offices is very similar to a scam. We are faced with such constantly.
An SMS came to my phone from number 1010 with an offer to earn $ 1 million. As it turned out, RusSportFinance, an SMS-lottery company, concluded an agreement with Kazan’s World Universiade Directorate in 2013 that 30% of all Universiade 2013 mobile lottery revenues will go to the organization of student games and sports charity projects. I think the lottery organizers will not remain in the loser. : lol:
The lottery began on December 1 and will end on March 10. The main prize - 30,000,000 rubles (or $ 1 million) - will be awarded on March 10. To participate in the lottery, it is enough to send an SMS to the number 1010 of any mobile operator of the Big Three.
Everything is quite simple: the more you send SMS, the more conditional points you have and, accordingly, the more chances of success. Prizewinners are determined by a computer program that selects the winner randomly, given the number of points of each participant.
To start, I sent an SMS with the text DO NOT BELIEVE! to number 1010. In response, two messages came: “Thank you for participating!” and “Download the purchased content from the link ...”, as well as 50 rubles were written off from the mobile account. I was offered a link to register on the site mloto.ru. Then came three more SMS: in one it was suggested to answer a simple question on a football topic, in the other it was promised, if the answer was correct, to increase my balance by 1000 points, in the third there was a link to mobile content on the site wap.mloto.ru, where You can download some kind of sports picture or video.
Every day I was bothered by a lottery, sending additional SMS with offers to earn some more points. I did not answer the quiz question, because everything is clear: I will answer correctly, they will remove 50 rubles from me and increase my balance by 1000 points, then they will send another question, and so on. Now I had the task of unsubscribing from participation in the lottery.
I found instructions on the website in the question and answer section: you need to send a free SMS message with the word STOP or STOP to 1010 (for MegaFon subscribers), 4122 (for Beeline subscribers) or 771085 (for MTS subscribers). Which I did.
Now I will check the balance daily.

Timothy, many do so, but apparently not all! The trouble is in the other, behind all these short
numbers, there are specific people associated with other people in the companies of mobile operators.
Everyone knows everything, but they cannot give intelligible answers.

Thank.

MTS is completely openly engaged in one-way connection of various services, which the media even openly called scammers, everything is quiet .. they don’t even dispute

 

[Александр Олейников]

A few years ago, I found it on some forum, now I got imposed paid subscriptions - I opened a separate account for paying content to myself and all my friends. Maybe one of you will come in handy ..
I quote:

".. a radical method. A few years ago, amendments to the Law" On Communications "came into force, according to which operators should provide subscribers with a separate account to pay for mobile content. They could not get everyone to automatically create this account, and they could do this on request Of course, for obvious reasons they don’t advertise. But it’s still worthwhile to set up such an account and keep it empty. You will be given another phone number, the account of which can be replenished if you suddenly consciously want to sign up for something. And “the enemy "Will not work: at zero balance it is impossible to drive this account into debt.
Beeline subscribers were the most fortunate (you need to dial 07226 or * 110 * 5062 #) and MegaFon - * 393 * 4 * 1 #, and users of his Yota subsidiary are not available at all: you don’t need to do anything. MTS and Tele2 subscribers are a little more complicated: you need to write a statement at the nearest office. Of course, all this is free. "

PS Well, on the topic of the first message - this kind of SMS should certainly be ignored, as well as missed calls from unfamiliar numbers ..
