Guys, do check my previous post. I have once ask MacroK to refund me, not Maxis. I called up Maxis and they didn't even refund me a single cents, due to I am just using prepaid? I don't know.

Asking Maxis to block Macrok is not enough. Why? MacroK are not register to a number only. They have several number for your information. Simply go to Maxis website, ECP page and search for MarcroK. You will see plenty of numbers under them.

Call up MacroK company and warn them not to send you any sms at all. Block all sms to you. They will do it and refund you. It is normal for them to refund. doh.gif

impossible to call MacroK. i called a few times during working hours on weekdays and every call went to a voice machine.

maxis refunded me 50%. half a loaf is better than none.

Prepaid users will also be affected. If you ever received something like this, check your balance. Chances are your balance will be alot less than what you remembered it was a few minutes ago

goto Jeffooi.com search his older post. he did a good expose on this MacroKiosk and SMS scam.

It not like no one report MK to Maxis or the authority. its rather no action taken or sufficiently to get them to toe the line.

MNP is here. switch to another operator. u get scam RM20/mth compared to MNP costing you RM25.

This is one of the reason i rather loss my number and switch to DiGi. I am totally pissed with this scam thing.

how can you stand getting scam RM100 a month and still dun do anything??? the scam me 10sen oso i m pissed.

unless you move away from the operator (which i suspect is the one with green logo), you will continue to be the victim.

MK is a repeated offender with MCMC. MCMC are just dragging their leg about this. Complaint to Maxis and MK, both side are splitting the $$ the scam from you. its a win-win situation for them. They will also drag their feet.

the only thing i suggest you do is move away from Maxis. MNP is here, so you dun hv to worry about losing your own number.

While getting the refund, Please also file your complaint here. This is the only authority that can get to the root of the problem. But we need numbers to get quicker attention. MicroK is playing this game....you complaint...I refund you, so you rest your case. But there are million other prepaid users never aware or never make complaint.
