*... Plz take my advice ...*

Don't ever give away ur phone number by any chance.

I would like to share with u guys, so that u won't be the next victim.

On 23 Dec, I received a msg from my friend on msn.

I clicked on the link without any suspect.

I thought my friend was inviting me to join a conversation with him as he was away back to hometown.

So I just follow the instructions.

As it was not stated that any subscription charge, I just give a way my name and phone number.

After a few second, I received a msg from Funmobile stated that thank you for joining them and there would be a weekly charge of $4+.

After read the msg then I have learnt that I was cheated. It was trick that how Funmobile make money. On the spot, I replied them to cancel the subscription. Who the hell will join this kind of chatting that charged ppl money? I myself seldom chat on msn even though it is free. If they stated any charged before hand, I won't give them my number and click on it.

I didn't know there were such kind of virus being spread out trough msn only after I told my friend about this. Blame myself for being so naive, but Funmobile shouldn't make money by this kind of strategy. No ethic and social responsibility at all.

Yesterday, I got the phone bill from Singtel and I called them in the morning. The guy said that he will help me to email Funmobile to waive the amount charged.

Not long after, I made a call to Funmobile as I was really unhappy for the amount charged. But in vail, no one picked up the phone.

In the afternoon, I received a call from Funmobile. He was looking for my friend, who I asked to sign up the line that I am using now. And I told the guy that I am the one who using this line and asked why they charge me $9.98 for NOTHING. The guy said that the amount charged will NOT be waived, as I have subscribe on it. No matter I use it or not, I still have to pay it. Even I cancelled it after a second I subscribe it.

I explained to him what really have happened. The guy said that it has nothing to do with them for how the virus being spread through msn. Of course they won't admit that they spread out the virus looking for victims.

The most weird thing is, why they never check whether the ppl who give out the number is really the one who using the line? How if that night, I just simply key in any number? I gave them my number and my name, but the number that I am using is registered under my friend. If we were to subscribe anything, we will be check for our identity, isn't?

This is RIDICULOUS. Totally a cheat.

Funmobile, I tell u, I only lost $9.98 but what u have lost is more than that. If u have social responsibility, u should know what to do.
