For those interested to follow this sms scam crime, follow this Screenshots expose. Pretty long series but quite an enlightening read. This MacroK was repeatedly name as a rogue ECP in the expose. Complaining to MCMC, read the expose and you'll know why its a waste of your time.

As Jeff Ooi wrote, the worst off are those prepaid from Celcom and Maxis. You don't get itemised billing so you don't know how much they have deduct from your credit.

On a separate case but related topic, I just got a father's day MMS from Maxis. I click on read msg and my phone start downloading the animation. Amazing huh... the dirty trick Maxis used to make you use their network. I call up maxis and ask them do i have to pay for the GPRS download and the answer is YES. Maxis promise to reverse the charge but I wanna see how the prove it to me.

Next time you guy receive any promotion from Maxis, just delete the message without reading it.

Looks like MacroK have suspended their service, according to Business Times.

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.

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

Added on September 3, 2008, 6:04 pmMK 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.
