you guys receive many SMS spam from online casino? how to block ? so irritating

unfortunately, don't think can do anything.

screenshot then report to skmm, if using android then download third part sms app from playstore that can block sms based on keyword, then block them using typical keyword, "casino", "win" etc

ton of them
always sms talking about loan money, casino

all my maxis no got this type sms. my friend also same, but their other telco number didnt get this sms.

i have recevied lots of casino sms b4.... i just block their numbers

umobile user also receiving this.
From unknown mobile phone number.

don't waste your time. I've tried that and after a few emails providing all information requested they say there is nothing they can do. ask you to go make police report instead

I receive those sms almost daily..nothing much can do, just delete.

it because u buy ILLEGAL toto/M/Kuda number.. that why u will receive..

MARKETING..

Not really. I think the telcos sell your numbers or maybe other things you sign up for.

nowadays many telcos giving free sms, so they just send out randomly. just 1% register, they can make money already.

this sms i received below is funny...

yeah.. I also receive a lot of spams.. very irritating!

report to skmm...the number will be terminated

It is so annoying, receive at least once every week..
I'm on Maxis btw..

Really no point in blocking the numbers... from what I received almost on a daily basis (sometimes twice in a day), it NEVER comes from a repeat number... they just use the number once... as a side note, I'm still trying to figure out what this spam is for:

enterprise customer also receive this kind of msg. maxis did not filter them.

wont be able to filter
in china, people buy base stations to broadcast these sms, bypassing telco
sometime ago i saw the basestation for sale in malaysia too.

I also keep receiving this type of SMS!



I did tried to contact the phone number in the SMS as well, but they just said they will fix it,
but then I receive again. Sometimes they even send me SMS at 4am midnight!
I tried PM the Maxis guy in Lowyat forum here but they told me that they can't do anything.

Same here.. 3-4am. Digi user.

Since most of the telco got unlimited call, why don't we gang up together and call them non-stop. Bombard them non-stop.

Another one today! 2am wtf!



Maxis Why you didn't filter your SMS??

mkt

magnum kuda toto

tq... i should've bought those numbers... probably came out that day...

those spammers actually signed up with the unlimited sms plan with any telco, can be maxis, digi or celcom.

then they will use an app to blast the spam sms to thousands of phone numbers.

when telco noticed that this spammer already exceeding the daily limit for the'unlimited sms', telco will block the spammers numbers. that is why we will never get the spam sms from the same numbers.

the spammers will register a new number then..

how to control this?? I think telco already do their best to block these spammers immediately when they detected the high volume of sms sent out to people like us..

you would think the telcos would be able to trace who pushed the sms and investigate.

I think it's kinda hard to trace.

they might use different IC to register the number each time

nope. either spammer buy simcard already register in bulk or they register themself using fake id.

Also receive plenty of those casino or 4d number spam sms.
Today receive blank number sms with blank content...
After that receive sms from digi state that I subscribe to some service which will cost me rm 120 per month...
And any and send will cost rm 4, telecom now day really bad...

check your phone have any sms filter function or not

I'm using mate 8, with built in harrassment filter I no longer receive these spam sms

sigh. got a SMS spam at 5.15am in the morning. &$@x&$&@@

Anyone know how they get our numbers? Started getting spammed since few months back... Is an app leaking our numbers? Iphone users got this problem?

Me too. 1 day dunno receive how many of them! Very irritating.

I receive all this everyday too. Sometimes as early as 3am / 4am.
So,,, 1 day i tried register & play online slots with only pay RM50,,, in 2 hours play, win some bonus rounds.
later cash out rm2k++. stop play d....hehe.

by often,, these 3rd party buy out from local telco's, other superstore (tesco, aeon, etc). In db has more than 100k++ people numbers which they will blast out the SMS using GSM. by spending rm0.003 per sms or maybe more abit.

yup. seriously these thing must stop..
it's getting bad to worse..

and one thing I realized,, its the most in Telco C line.. Telco M & Telco D not so much...

it's normal..
I also do get at 4am

The most is Telco C because they can be partners with other SMS companies (unlimited) unlike Telco M & Telco D only max can be 2 partners.
So those companies tied under Telco C will blast coz there no filtration as per current. Not till they emphasize or control CMP or CIBS. As for now, is not controlled unlike those time when PCM was enforced in Celcom and managed by CMP.

oh like that..
no wonder too much spam from Telco C line

As for telco M is more strict enforcement because they have BMG now in place since the last time MPG was overwhelming. During MPG time, esms was not as strong because all running into 5 same routes under 2 platforms and was managed by a 3rd party sms company approved under Telco M as their partner.
When BMG comes into place, the 3rd party company contract was not been renewed. Esms was being implemented & improvise to 1 master primary platform that still using like previous routes but tighten security.

good
glad to know..
pay expensive plan, but less spam

Sorry to bring up old topic.

The SMS gateway filtration is filtering SMS from 3 series (3xxxx) and 6 series (6xxxx) and any usual 5 digit number.

As for those that has been reported it seems to be from a normal line blasting so is very unlikely those are passing through PCM or BMG at all.

means should be ok now?

Technically no.


If SMS were to blast using non-compliant number (meaning not 3xxxx and not 6xxxx), this means that the message has never went into PCM / BMG. Hence is a violation of usage under MCMC (if memory serves me right). Any sms went through PCM / BMG will be regulated.

Tips : Do note that SMS from 3XXXX and 6XXXX you can opt to OUT (opt not to receive any SMSes).


You may report this to MCMC / find out which telco is the number is from and report to the telco as spammer.

install "Truecaller" app, auto block spam, spam number gathered worldwide sharing.

May I know how much is ur subscription? Yours in RM or USD?

I find Truecaller to be highly dubious software. Wants to take over your phone's dialler and messaging. Feels like spam or malware itself.

It take over Dialler and sms most likely for easier on blocking sms and call, many phone customisation and android limit permission/not user friendly to allow sms or phone permissions. Which also allow it to become top app to identify 99% of the spam sms and call.

then to serve you ads if you not subscribe to premium adfree subsription.

And still cannot find any other app that beat the sms and phone spam block, and the identification of unknown new phone number.

My phone felt dirty just having the app installed. Took me less than a month to get rid of it. Now if I want to know an unknown number, I just Google it, that's all. If I don't like a number, I just block it.

As long as did not charge you RM2 or RM3 per sms is ok already.
Just make a few button Options > Delete > YES.

For my Android, there's a setting in the stock Message app, which is to filter the keywords.

Then now they are spamming via Whatsapp.
Kept reporting spam numbers and I don't think Whatsapp will do any actions against these numbers.

I just copy these numbers and register them on those spamming website... Let spammer vs spammer... Sooner or later, these spam numbers will get charged by those website spammer... In the end, they will terminate the number and create another account and spam us again... So, we repeat the cycle...

Any updates for this tho? Been getting a lot of spam casino SMS's that looks like they are from Chinese mainland casino companies.. Must have been one that's offshore..

I don't see the point of blocking since they can just make new number and do the same thing again.
