April about Rolandiatoursltd.com
Offered a Part time Travel Assistant job with rolandiatoursltd.com. I was supposed to book tickets and mail them to their clients. They would send checks in advance I was told. And when the first check landed it was 1200$ in excess of what they claimed they were sending. I was told to cash and send $1200 to someone. I grew suspicious and the bank helped me expose the scam. The check was bad. The scam was detected before I cashed the check. Hope my story will help others!!

Spam texts (SMS Messages) are sent by computers, bots or apps programmed to spit out hundreds of messages every minute. Scammers expect only a very small percentage of recipients to respond. To increase the chance of successful hits, scammers flood mobile phone networks with millions of messages. Their ultimate aim is financial gain by defrauding unwary recipients who respond assuming that the spam text message they received is legit. Report at Myrmillo.com.
It's important for you to be aware of various types of SMS scams and hence be guarded.
Lottery / Sweepstakes Spam Texts
The fraud business of making money by sending spam SMS commenced with "lottery winner" scam! It's wide spread across the globe. Unwary recipients are amazed to hear they have been "randomly" selected to win a large prize. Scammers use names of well known corporations including Coca Cola, Pepsi, Apple, Microsoft to make the text appear legit. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Bank Account or Credit / Debit Card Suspension
Text message disguised to make it appear as if sent by your bank or your credit card service provider could make the recipient call back or click a phishing link, all designed to steal account credentials. Deceived users panic when they are alerted by unauthorized debits. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Fake Loan Spam Texts
Scammers send bogus messages informing users that their loan application is approved and to get back to them, to receive funds in their bank accounts. The deceived user ends up making an advance fee payment for a loan which never existed.

Bogus Debt Collection Spam Texts
Fake debt collectors and bogus law firms, send out messages about unpaid debts. Same message is sent to thousands of people, at the same time! Someone who may have defaulted on a loan could get scammed into believing that the message, is in fact, from his creditor and end up paying money which does nothing, to reduce his debt.

In US, Canada and the UK, messages demanding tax payments are a major source of fraud.

But according to the FTC, every year, citizens collectively lose millions of dollars, in this scam. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Unauthorized Charges
People complain of receiving sudden alerts from their banks or credit card providers about debit of money (usually in small denominations, under $100) which they had not spent or authorized.
