how can I repport a sms scam? wich institution will help me?
Tue, 2010/06/15 - 04:48I recently got a scam sms claiming that I had won R4 000 000 in the ENEL SAUDI ARABIAN OIL INTERNATIONAL LOTTO DRAW. I knew it was a scam when I read it since I din't enter for anything. I live in SA and our police don't really take these things seriously enough or do anything about it so does anyone know who will be able to help me? I would like to report them! When I phoned the number given (a MR COLLIN MONTGOMERY) a black man answered and when he heard that I wasn't falling for the scam he immediately hung up.
