Ngaba usayine i-$ 10 ngenyanga yexabiso leetekisi?
Uvele ufumene umyalezo wesicatshulwa ukusuka kwinqanaba elithathu elingaqhelekanga okanye inombolo emihlanu. Ithi into efana nale:
"I-Trivia Master: Mkelekile kwi-Trivia Master Izaziso zakho! I-3xmsgs / wk ikhokhelwe @ $ 9.99 / mo Impendulo Nceda okanye unxebe i-STOP ukuba ukhansele ama-Msg kunye neeNkcukacha zeeNkcukacha."
Ingxaki kukuba awuzange ungene ngemvume kule 'Trivia Master' okanye nayiphi na into ethi igama layo liyiyo kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo awufuni ukuphelisa ibhilikhi ye $ 9.99 ngenyanga. Kufuneka kube nephutha. Oku kwenzeka ntoni? Ngaba oku okwenene?
Siyakwamkela kwilizwe elikrakra loMkhwabaniso we-SMS we-Premium.
Imiyalezo ye-SMS ye-Premium ijoliswe ukuba ibe yindlela esemthethweni yokuba 'umniki-nkonzo' enze imali ngandlela-thile ekholisa umntu ukuba angene ngemvume ukuze athole umxholo ngeSMS, njengomdlalo welo suku, umbuzo we-trivia, okanye enye into ene-'premium' 'intlawulo ngokuzenzekelayo yongezwe kwi-'fowuni yomrhumo wefowuni'.
'Umthengi' uhlala ehlawuliswa umrhumo we-9.99. Le ntlawulo ingaqhubeka ukusukela kwinyanga ukuya kwinyanga ukuya kuthi 'umthumeli' uthumele impendulo yombhalo othi "STOP" kumniki-nkonzo womyalezo we-SMS oyi-premium okanye ufonele umnini-weseli wefowuni ukuba abekwe ityala.
Ngaba ihlaya lomhla okanye i-trivia lifanele ukufikelela phantse i-$ 10 ngenyanga? Ndiyicinga ukuba yimiba yombono. Andizange ndicinge ngokubhaliselwa kule hlobo lento, andithandi ukuchitha i-$ 7.99 ngeenyanga kwi-Netflix. Ndiyicinga ukuba mhlawumbi kukho abantu abathile ngaphandle apho banokuyonwabela ukufumana iinkcazo ngeencwadana ngezihlandlo ezi-3 ngeenyanga kwi-10 yeedola, kodwa ndithandabuzo zininzi.
Ingxaki kukuba inkqubo yokuhlawula umyalezo we-SMS iyaphathwa kakubi ngabagculeli kunye nabakhohlisi. Uninzi lwabantu, mna ndabandakanyeka, ngxelo ebhalisiwe kule 'inkonzo' ngaphandle kwemvume yabo. Yonke into ekufuneka iyenze ukusayina ixhoba ngenxa yale miyalezo ebiza kakhulu kukuba uye kwiwebhusayithi, thayipha kwinombolo yefowuni, nqakraza ibhokisi yemvume, kwaye uyifake ukuhambisa. Kukho konke okukuyo. Akukho ulwazi lwekhadi lesikweletu elifunekayo okanye nantoni na.
Omnye wenze oku kum kwaye ndaqala ukufumana ibhilikhwe into engazange ndiyibhalisele.
Ungakuphepha njani ukuba ube yixhoba leNkohlakalo yeSMS ye-Premium?
Vula umyalezo we-SMS oyiNkcazo
Uninzi lweenkonzo zeeseli, ezifana neVerizon, ziya kukuvumela ukuba uvimbele yonke iMilayezo ye-SMS ye-Premium ukuze ungaze ube yixhoba le-SMS ye-Premium fraud. I-Verizon ikuvumela ukuba ungene kwi-akhawunti yakho kwaye uvule uphawu lokuthintela ngewebhusayithi yabo, okanye ungabiza inkonzo yabathengi kwaye ubencede bakwazi ukwenza uphawu lokuvimba.
Umgca wecala kukuba awuyi kukwazi ukubhalisela 'ihlaya lomhla' kwi $ 10 bucks ngenyanga kwakhona (ngaphandle kokuba uvula ukuvimba), kodwa ndicinga ukuba baninzi bethu banokuhlala kunye nokuba oko kuthetha ukuba ziya kukhuselwa kwiirhafu ezizayo kwi-Premium SMS scammers .
Yongeza inombolo yakho kwi-Do Not Call / Do not Request Registry
Ngelixa ungasebenzi njengokuba uvimba imilayezo ye-premium ukusuka ufikelele kwifowuni yakho, okungenani unokunceda ukuba ugweme i-spam ye-advertising based spam. Ukuba uhlala e-US, unokongeza inombolo yakho kwi-US Musa ukubiza iRejista ngokutyelela i-www.donotcall.gov
Ingxoxo yokuphendula 'STOP'
UVerizon wuleza ukuba undixelele ukuba ndiphendule "STOP" kwinombolo eyayithumelela imiyalezo yombhalo weprayim. Oku akusayi kususa iindleko ezazisithunyelwe kwi-akhawunti yam, kodwa iya kuphelisa iindleko zenyanga ezizayo.
Oku bekuchasene noko ndaye ndawafunda kwamanye amaxhoba athi emva kokuba baphendula i-STOP, bafumana iimibhalo ezingakumbi nakwezinye ii-SMS ze-Premium vendors. Bacinga ukuba xa bephendula ukuba abagxeki baqaphela ukuba inani abaye bathumela umyalezo kubo liyinombolo ephilayo ekhuthaze i-spam text spam.
Andizange ndiphendule i-STOP, kodwa ndabiza iVerizon kwaye ndawayeka ukuba asuse iintlawulo. Kwaye ndibavimbela yonke imilayezo ye-SMS yokuqala ye-premium yamanani am onke. Oku kubonakala ngathi iphumelele njengoko andizange ndifumane esinye isicatshulwa esekelwe kwisicatshulwa okanye iindleko ze-SMS ze-premium.
