new version consume lots of bandwidth

my phone data usage tracker indicate that
Boost already consume 79MB of data.

close app and reopen app, it continues to use 10MB just to load the main tab of the app.

ss, every time open the app, will need 10MB minimum just for the main tab.

someone need to tell the app developer to compress the picture, and also tell them we arent using Boost at home, we are using mobile data at Boost vendors
*
not only that. It also upload a LOT of data in background.

Has to be eligible station to get Cashback? Not all stations that accept Boost?

Nope. See this list for details.

I think Boost backend already hacked and owned. I just registed today and 10 minutes after that I got SMS with phishing link (faking Boost).

So here the question, how come the phisher got my number and know I have Boost account? Comfirmed, it must be leaking from Boost backend side

QUOTE(ohcipala @ Jun 16 2019, 09:46 PM)
Did you just register/activate the number today or have you been using the number for a while?
*
It's quite easy to know if a particular phone number is boost user or not.

I can't expose the technical details about how it can be achieved, but it's doable and not as complex/tedious as you think. devil.gif
But I'm impressed how proactive scammer implement this.

They have your phone number, they have database leaked by telco that matched with your name and IC. What else needed?

"From" can be easily faked. Don't trust the mail just because sender address looks authentic.

Why need to tie so many accounts?
Seriously, Boost should enforce bank account number verification like HG and MyTheo

They did.
Try withdraw to bank that's not under your name. devil.gif

The more need for Boost to enforce bank account number verification.
Perhaps this could shorten the TAT.

It seems verification was not enforced by Boost.
If owner name mismatched, it will return error code with message, probably originate by bank side.

Just used Boost to pay for some things. Do I physically have to shake the phone also or just press the 'shake it' button only is enough to get some $ back?
*
You can either shake or tap the screen.
Shake it harder will not earn you more reward. Maybe will break your phone thus -ve reward biggrin.gif

I just got these fraud message from 2 different no this week. It is hard to believe the prize too good to be true, good prize never comes so easily. I believe they will get another phone to message the same 3rd measage. I check the URL they given it is not the true official website from boost website. The URL is using blogspot, so anyone can register a domains post a few photos on it. And I see the post date is on July and now it is in the month of August. They think I am super dumb.

Great that you identified the phishing msg.
Just for you understanding, sms was sent by batch through sms gateway.
Those service uses random number which's not a physical phone/sim.

Contacted Redbus support, they replied transaction not tracked and close my ticket.
