SMS Scam and Zomi Refugees
Jesus would SMS you one day and say …I’ll give you the UNHCR registration even though the UN would not recognize us a chance of being a refugee in exile…” laughing and said. May youngsters are still unclear of the rumor knowing that it is impossible. What makes them doubt could be the pre-assumption of horror movies like “Miss Call, Iron Man”
There have been so many phone hoaxes lately especially in Malaysia. How could a well-informed person be doubtful about all these things as we have seen so many scams like: Nokia warning against hoax SMS. http://www.bt.com.bn/en/home_news/2008/04/29/nokia_warns_against_hoax_sms

SMS Bomb hoax in 2005: http://www.textually.org/textually/archives/2005/08/009508.htm
There are actually thons of scams and hoaxes growing almost every week. The biggest question is “Have you look before you jump (in to a conclusion).” Chain letters, chain SMS, Chain e-mails truly annoy people and it can be take-taking to study about. Many people still believe in the modern fancy way of spam and junk mails coming to us while consuming our time and money.
“How could the Zomi refugees afford to buy phone cards, making warning about the news and forwarding this message to other people which takes time and money” while they don’t even have the money to make phone call to their family who are the victims of the Cyclone back home,” Taang added.
It is true that he himself received 3 forwarded warning SMS. Some would believe it and take it true so we can’t even make phone calls after 11 P.M and early in the morning. If you are receiving one, do not forward it to your friends but discard it immediately.
Nothing is benefit by believing in those crept dumb things but it rather effect your…
-Time
-Money
-Worries etc.
Therefore, it is important especially for the Zomis not fall under such fraudulent scams.
