User blog comment:Raidra/Grandma Scam/@comment-25073641-20160428040631

Same thing happened. It's in form of a text. Not Grandma scam but a very deceptive and straightforward kind. Here, read it:


 * Congrats!Ur sim# won (Php.850,000)Thru electronic Raffle draw (frm.VILLAR foundation).to claim ur prize.Pls call me now.I'm atty.ALEX J.TAN DTI#0065 s2016.

(How it works: The sender blinds you with those numbers, you contact the sender and they ask for money before you can claim your reward, that's what they do. When they've got the greens they just vanish, and it would all be too late before you could report it to the cops. No reward.

I replied to the sender and asked them to fuck off. They remained silent and never attacked me again. It feels good to scare off these money-hoarding bastards, but the fact that so many has been fooled by this kind of texts... well, terrifies and amuses me at the same time.
