Looks like property market is slowing down. I even get junk mails in the letter box on new property openings

gardenia,how come they know mine number thru whatsapp lei....so many spam

I get a few too. From +63 numbers

Some business are selling this kind of "Whatsapp Marketing" stuff now.
They bought 500k phones number database from god know who, then go approach businesses and say help "advertise" or send "e-flyer" for them.

They then send the business promotional images or text to these database through Whatsapp.

They are actively promoting this business model now, I heard there's one operating in Penang now, company name eCentury, they have meeting on every Monday and Friday at a office lot in Automall.

Damn spamming company, we need to report to the authority to stop Whatsapp spam.

Edit: Worst thing is, there is no option to OPT OUT from this spam, in emails at least we can opt out. This is some serious legal issue.

Phone numbers can be sourced by those people who stand around at shopping malls and asking you to fill in your particulars for some surveys. Typically these will require you to fill in your phone number too.

Then there's fairs like home deco fair or some other big exhibition where you can participate in lucky draws etc. Some of them will also require you to fill in your mobile no to paticipate.
