hilldweller Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Am I alone in receiving text messages about once a week which purport to be advising me about Nigerian exchange rates. It's obviously some sort of scam and I've not been daft enough to respond in any way. As soon as they appear I delete them and my credit balance hasn't been got at. They don't contain a return number and I'm at a loss to see how they could gain from them. Weird ! HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even replied to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Text messages from family members, now that is seriously scary. At least I've only got to contend with foreign gangsters. HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HD Only receive the Nigerian scam emails very occasionally. Spam filter gets rid of most of them. Like you I just delete them as they are not cleverly diguised and are clearly a scam. Text messages from family members? Some of them could be foreign gangsters :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
