Scary shiat going on here

So, what actually happen? What does the scammer benefit from it?

This message is scary, it wrote my university, my name(although spelt wrongly) and Krabi. I was planning on going to Krabi sometime soon, so this is really creepy.

How dangerous is this? Do I need to inform others about this?

It's rather creepy. My gf and I both received the same messages at just few minutes different but from different number. I contacted it and a malay guy picked up, claiming that another person has called him regarding the same subject but he said he didnt even send any links.

1. dia dapat your number/contact details by reading all contacts from someone else's phone, like someone who calls you maksu AND saves your contact under Maksu as well.
2. that person installed the apk, jenis stok main tekan OK je instead of baca apa permission apk tu mintak, macam send sms, etc.

so if you can find people who calls you maksu, see if their phones letak maksu as your contact details. then check to see if the apk is installed, duit selalu habis, etc.
