Nowadays, people have their eyes glued on their mobile devices. It is unquestionable that as the years passed, the mobile industry has gotten better and better. Back in the day, mobile phones are only used for call and SMS. Now, mobile devices can now be used not only for communication but also for social media and entertainment. Mobile devices have become fun and handy. Even information can now be reached by your fingertips. You don’t need a computer just to browse the internet. Connect your mobile phone on the internet and start browsing. As the mobile technology improves, many problems transpired too. Minor dilemmas such as software and hardware problems were experienced by users. Worst, some mobile users have experienced being fooled by hoax companies who want to prey on easy targets.

HOW DOES THIS MOBILE SCAM WORKS? There are different types of scams but how the tricksters work is quite similar. They contact mobile phone users via phone call or email. When a naïve user responds to their bait, that’s how the scam will start rolling. In Japan, there were scams that started since 2002. There had been numerous complaints that they have been scammed over a phone call. Their technique is called as “wangiri.” Pornographic telephone services are often responsible for this illegal encounter. Their method involves calling the victims at random by using special electronic devices which allows them to call thousands of numbers in a few minutes. They will only ring once before disconnecting. It will leave a “missed call” or message from an unknown number. Out of curiosity, some people will return the call. A recorded message will be played to lure the callers. Expensive per-minute rates for the duration of the calls will be billed for those who choose to remain on the line. Convert webpages to pdf online w ith PDFmyURL
