Beware the thief of mobile phone credit


A WEEK ago, I received an SMS text from a 3xxxx number notifying me that I had successfully subscribed to a video service and that RM4 had been deducted from my prepaid mobile account.

After checking it out, I realised I had done nothing to effect this subscription and that it was also the first message I had ever received from the 3xxxx number.
