New Scam warning

Glax said:
I've found something I think all of the targets have in common - the scammers seem to always phone on the ADSL line (which is almost never listed anywhere) and they susbcribe to Telkom ADSL.
If true I'd say a Telkom employee has sold their database or someones hacked it.

@Park@82 - is that what happened to you?

Yes we do have an ADSL line with Telkom.

A very worrying situation - either its a default listing from Telkom (so numbers are public by default) or there is some unsecured DB that has been hacked:twisted:
 
the call was similar to this one: [video=youtube;-uBpV13tDkU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uBpV13tDkU[/video] :D
I also played dumb at first.
 
This is most certainly nothing new. They use different names. The calls I got
were from "ET Protection Services".

Hi all,

There is someone reviving the AMMYY scam, saying they are from a subcontractor for M$ and need to fix the errors with your Bonjour service.

It has happened to some people in JHB today. Please warn your friends and family against this.
