Vodafone Malta is aware of a scam whereby customers receive an SMS asking them to call a foreign number. They warned customers not to call or reply to the number as they will incur an extra charge at a premium rate. The spam text says either “Please call me urgent”, “Congratulations you are the winner. Urgent the director bank insist to call immediately for free to receive your cheque today (sic)” or “Congratulations your 50 thousand has been transferred to your bank. Call now for free on this number to get your transfer code”.
Whoever recieves such messages is encouraged to forward them to reportspam.mt@vodafone.com.
