Djugo scam

Hi folks,

Just to let you know that the people responsible for the DJUGO and GIFTPARADISE Apple Pack Prizescam are hard at work still.

I have unfortunatly been scammed as my Sisters hotmail messenger account was hacked and when I thought it was her, it was actually a bot or something:

JimB says:
really

aliB says:
I think you can also get one if you hurry, its a limited promotion.. I got it from (link posting to site)

JimB says:
ok

aliB says:
Just let me know if you need any help with it. I gotta leave for a bit though, so Ill talk to you later.


The link takes you to a page similar to previous forum threads where you are asked to fill your details in (phone No. etc). As my Sis does a lot of comps online, I fell for hook line and sinker! Harsh lesson learned I think.

I don't expect to see the money again but I will try and highlight this across as many networks as possible.

I don't know how this can be legal, my only hope is if my phone network can freeze the charges... But I doubt it.

Good luck people!
