I am getting several SMS and missed calls from this unknown 6646290 caller asking me to credit Qr20 to his number. Says he is in big trouble. Anyone else getting this calls from the number 6646290 ?

Annoying. I have ignored his plea as I cannot verify whether he really needs help. Told him to stop calling but he continues.

This is online begging and could be another scam. So on the safe side, Beware.

You can report that no. to Qtel. They will know who is the owner of that no. and they can do something about it if you file a formal complaint.

Either its true or a scam, would you give him/her 20 if you dont know the sender himself/herself.

On the other hand if he/she is in trouble and has already called you several times and sent you several sms requesting for credit (which he/she seems to have in plenty), why doesn't he calls 999 and gets help from the proper authorities.

Big question....right??

You should not attend such calls or sms, this is a scam.

Unfortunately you are not the only one, I know people who have been scammed by this "emergency request" and in the end this person or persons just walk away with credit into their phone and you are left wondering what did happen here?

This is an old scam from USA, Mexico and even Latin America.

Just be careful.
