Mobile scam

    It was early in the morning, I was just settling in my office desk when I received a call from a GrameenPhone number . When I received the call I heard a robotic voice informing me that he was calling from GrameenPhone customer care and glad to inform me that I had won a luxurious car worth Tk 22.5 lac. I kew it was a bogus call trying to cheat gullible people . I put the call on loudspeaker so that my colleagues could hear it. I was pretending that I was very excited to win such a big price. Later that fake person informed me that if I was to know how I can collect my prize then I have to call back to his number. My colleagues and I had a good laugh. Someone advised me to call back the con-man but I was reluctant to waste my time on the matter anymore.
     Later, it came to my mind that this type of fraudulent people traps many innocent people in the name of winning prize. As such fraudulent activities don't get publicity , these have been on a sharp rise, since the victim doesn't like to take the trouble to complain or report to law enforcers or phone service providers. The monile companies concerned should take legal step against these criminal activities so that they come to an end for good.
