Are These Scammers Smart Enough? by CreativeWeb(m): 4:09pm On Jan 14, 2015 |
i saw one of these spam comments on gtbank facebook page while reading a post. The guy asked people to visit this site: http://mtnbonuspromo.cf/ to claim there recharge bonus. As a webmaster and someone that knows it's a scam, I decided to open the site. I was asked to type in my promo PIN inside a text field. I just typed 2667. And the page reloaded and said congratulations {2667}. You have been approved to win so so amount of recharge bonus. I was then asked to quickly rush and buy an mtn recharge card of #200, #400, #750 or #1500 and then enter my phone number and the recharge PIN in text fields below so that mtn can credit my account with the bonus. I typed in: 08012345678 as my phone number and then typed 123456789012 as my #1500 mtn PIN. I clicked recharge, and the page reloaded and sent to loading.php where a gif image is booting with a message under it that says I should not refresh my browser and that I should wait for 6 hours so that mtn can process it. There is also a warning that my line will be blocked if I put wrong PIN five times. Very funny. The guys are not smart at all. They can only dupe a f00l. Reasons: If it's MTN, the promo code must be authenticated. If it's MTN, the promo recharge will not last up to 6 hours. The guy just developed a phpsite with a mysql database and sits in his room grabbing the data from the back-end and recharging his phone. Very funny. |
