It's so annoying to receive smses from those people..

I thought I am the first owner of this number..

Every morning will receive one sms.

Today lagi worse, smes from 3 different senders!

I smsed back and ask them not to send me anymore sms coz im not the intended recipient, but I receive more after that!

I wonder how would they feel if they receive Taoist/Buddhist teachings smses everyday.

I think you need to report to your telco. Laughing

laurence82 SG

But first warn these people not to send first, then report telco as a last resort

M©+square SG

They didn't reply to her sms, and yet send more.

I guess the smses are automated? Laughing

The best is go to telco and find out if the number is recycled.

thanks ah lau and ah square.

i tot of asking M1..

But I dun think can bar number from smsing right?

yes, i really feel like complaining to that church.

Very irritating leh~!

It's easier to call up the church and let them know that this number is no longer in use by former owner.
And get them to delete your contacts off from their list.

It'll be much effective to get M1 to do it though. Mr. Green

M©+square SG

I juz called up M1 leh.

The customer service officer told me my number is Brand New leh.

I am the first subscriber of this number.

I gave her the hp numbers that I received smses from and she will get back to me after investigation.

Bontakun SG

Agreed to both M© and Ah Lau on how to deal with this situation. Though I dunno how to help you find what you want.

browniebaobao SG

i tot so too..

but hor.. juz curious..

all christians register their hp number with the church wan ar?

but then M1 told me my number is brand new leh...

im more interested in knowing who are the 3 idiots.

browniebaobao SG

I duno how MSP work in cases like this..

but I was told that Starhub would only bar number if there's a police report.

the M1 Customer Service Officer asked me did i receive more than 5 smses from the same number for the past 2 weeks.

I told her I only got this number last Thur.. and I have been receiving such smses since then.

I even gave her the Church name.

Well, M1 really provides good customer service leh.. I waited for about a minute only and I was greeted by my surname. Starhub still have to press this, press that, enter hp number, ic number etc.. by the time i get to speak to the cust svc officer, me already getting impatient.

Hello BBB,

After you have let the sender know that you do not want to receive these SMSes, the next best thing to wait.

If they still persist in sending, contact the church. They may be able to clarify if they had authorised these SMSes or that if the sender was really a member of the church. They will also be able to take appropriate action.

If all else fail, then make a police report.

browniebaobao SG

police report?

serious leh.

anyway since yday and today, i have received another two smses from TWO new numbers.

sillyme SG

Spamming is serious, whatever purposes it is intended.

Call the church first.

browniebaobao SG

now everyday receive msg from a different number..

tmd...

me gg to call up the church tmr. Evil or Very Mad

browniebaobao SG

I juz called M1 again.

the cust svc operator encouraged me to either call up the church and clarify with them or make a police report and they will give them a warning letter.

till today, i have received smses from 7 numbers!

i juz called up the church and someone by the name of 'Sheryl' spoken to me. She din even dare to spell her name to me. I told her I have been receiving all these smses and I feel very disturbed.

She said they send out 3000+ smses everyday, somebody must have given them my number. She tried to delete my number from their database, but failed. I warned her that I'm going to lodge a police report if I still receive these smses next week. She said those smses are sent out to bless people, I dun have to get so uptight. Hello, i din ask for those smses! I dun need such blessings when i dun even believe in Jesus. (Sorry, no offence to all christians here. I had a terrible experience at a church years ago that made me refuse to have any contact with christianity.)

She can't give me a good explanation, she said there's no way to check who gave them my number, and they could only check by name and I had to give her my full name.

Ridiculous, she even said it's late, she's going home. Ask me to wait for another week and see whether I receive such smses. Machiam i owe her like that. I'm so pissed off!

There's a limit to my patience. I will give them a deadline up to Wednesday 3.1.07. If I still receive such smses on Thursday, then they better be prepared to receive a warning letter from the police.
