Prepaid Card scam

A reader emailed me to warn about this so-called prepaid card scam.

This scam is about globe/smart prepaid cards business. Apparently, this hacker will hack your yahoo mail and messenger and will use your identity by chatting with your friends on your yahoo messenger and will ask a favor to buy him/her prepaid cards. He/she will then promise to pay you back the next day. After getting the PIN numbers of the cards, he/she will not reply anymore. I have been victimized by this hacker who used my identity to get money from my friends.


So there, we all had been warned. A preemptive strike is a good precaution. We should email all our YM and Yahoo Mail contacts to inform them that you will never, "ever" ask them for cellphone loads! lol..but yeah, better safe than sorry..your reputation or whatever is left of it, is at stake!
