"LeNkap, tu veux briss"? : Alerte à l’arnaque ! Scam Alert!
“LeNkap, tu veux briss” a promotional SMS Scam Alert is a new marketing campaign from unknown individuals claiming to be the Mobile Telephone Network, Orange Cameroon.
According to the latest cross-checks, this is not the case! Indeed, it is the handiwork of cybercriminals and criminals of all kinds who proliferate on the web and telephone networks.
The latest news concerns a strange message, apparently enticing for people with a taste for-profit and easy gain, perfect baits for virtual thugs.
What are promotional SMS?
A promotional SMS is a message sent by a brand to prospects and customers informing them about promotions, discounts, and offers. Marketers run promotional campaigns to increase customer engagement and rocket sales.
Mode of Operation
Their operating mode, empty your Orange Money account. After receiving the SMS: “Nkap, tu veux briss”? Once you reply to their messages your number will be displayed with them and you will realize that they have emptied your account.
How to recognize a Fake promotional SMS?
Generally, promotional SMS from real mobile companies do not have an option offering you the possibility to respond. The moment this condition is not met, there is no longer any doubt: It is an attempted scam! But should you try to send a message though? No! The good reaction is that in case of doubt, immediately contact the customer service of the company concerned to report this abuse.
MINATD takes preventive measures
We announced in our morning that MINATD summoned the telephone companies operating in the mobile money transactions sector (Orange and MTN) to set up a transparent and secure system that would allow each user or subscriber who is abused or who has transferred his money by error to return to his possession. This measure is therefore welcome when more and more cybercriminals proliferate in the digital world and the Darknet.
