Hello,
Once you reply "STOP", to be save make sure to call 123 (or any number from your provider CELCOM,DIGI etc) and ask them to bar that number. If thier succeed bar the number within few minute you will receive a confirmation SMS from the provider.
Hence any number starting with 3**** (5 digits) also known as "EXTERNAL CONTENT PROVIDERS (ECP)" services mostly a scam SMS. Reply within 24 hours after receiving the SMS with "STOP" (Capital letters) to the number and call Maxis 123 (or DiGI/CELCOM etc) to bar the number, failing to do so within 24 hours your provider will charge/billing you RM3-4 per SMS on behalf this stupid ECP.
I also kena charged RM4 show-up in my April bill from this number 32278 (Macrok). Call Maxis 123 this morning and ask for wavier and bar the number. Sadly about 8.35pm today another SMS received from 33199, again reply "STOP" and call 123 to bar this stupid number!!!. Within few minutes i received a confirmation SMS from Maxis.
When i ask the customer services can they BAR all the number starting with 3****. She said they cannot monitor or bar all this 3**** from sending SMS to customer but once receive customer are advice to reply "STOP" and call them to bar the number within 24 hours. What a pain in the @rse!!!
Here another ongoing discussion regardless this issue
