Celcom puts out a notice on its website to warn its subscribers of an SMS scam doing its rounds using the telco’s brand name.
The unsolicited text messages, Celcom says, promise rewards and cash prizes.

As always, we can’t stress to you enough to stay away from all this crap. Be carefull, always.
Samples of the scrupulous SMSes after the jump.
“SMS/messages that carry an international number (i.e. phone numbers starting with 00xxxxxxxxxxx) should also be ignored.
