With the advent of GPRS & EDGE we have increasing numbers of Mobile Web surfers and hence increasing number of scams.
No doubt all of us use our mobile web for one means or other. But when you think of downloading something from a WAP Portal or other mobile sites, beware of some links saying "Free Wallpapers, Ringtones, etc". Dont click on the link as this is a Scam.
The Details are as follows:
When you click on this link you will be redirected to a portal called TASHAN and immediately Rs.20 or 25 will be deducted from your account and you will not get any content for download.
This wont stop here. It will automatically go on deducting balance from you account or add credit to your bill every week. This is a scam and you have no way to stop it.
Every week you will receive a message about your deducted amount and a link to unsubscribe it which unfortunately is fake and you won't be able to unsubscribe it. Even your operator can't help because its a third party application.
Any ways there if you are one of the victims of this there is one way to get rid of it.
What you have to do is type a message with text UNSUB BHAKTI / FILMY / CRICKET / GAME any of which you have subscribed to (type one of them) and send it to 57772.
Eg: UNSUB BHAKTI and send to 57772
You will be unsubscribed to it.
Enjoy Mobile Surfing and Surf Safe.
