MCMC Sucks!

I believe alot people received spam message from phone number and also some of you really go and send a message to the shortcode(E.G. 36660 and etc.)

A sample:
"Jon, video U dgn jane disebarkan.Cuba htr ON RT ke 36660 skrg.FREE reg ramai dah tgk video ni.very urgent pls help!Jane call i tadi sampai kelam kabut takut."

A lot ppl out of curiosity will really send the SMS and all those shortcode will suck your money whether you know it or not. Have a look at this page: http://www.skmm.gov.my/consumer/non_compliance.asp the truth is the goverment know about all this illegal charges and spamming but are not doing anything to solve it as they want the money from the company more than they want to help the consumer. You can see that all the company continue to spam consumer with all those charging shortcode and after a lot of complain, the so called MCMC will only ban the short code for a short period of time and poof... The company is back in action to extort more money from us consumer.

Company will continue to do this as long as they can as they know the money they can earn from the consumer will be more than enough to pay for the reactivation of the shortcode and the compound so to them it is nothing. As you can see most of the company that repeatly being ban is always back and spam their user again and the process repeat. What the hell is MCMC doing? If you know that someone who steal your money from the cashier will you ask him go home and take a break and come again after a few month and work at the cashier again?

Don't you think it is funny? Even a blind or a retarded person will know this is totally illogical. The only good explaination is the goverment somehow also benefit from this kind of spamming so are not taking any serious actions againts it. To all mobile user, please be wise and not let those shortcode cheat your money. Even cheating you 1 cent is still cheating. Steadfast in your principle and do not let those evil business man cheat you of your hard earn penny.

Hard to do something about it as they use long code(Consumer number) and not using the short code. We can try to complain but MCMC will do a bit action by ban them for one two month then they come back.

They are like Zombies. Sigh.... Die, back, die, back.....
