Wrong Number? Scam?
I got the following message at 3:04 this morning.
- 你把钱汇入这个账号就行。中国建设银行：44367.4272.0066.3263424刘春平（收）
- Just send the money into this account and that will be fine. China Construction Bank 44367.4272.0066.3263424, Liu ChunPing (receiving)
I’m going to go out on a limb here: this is a bloody scam. A bad one at that. What does this person think, that I’m going to wake up, groggily at 3 in the morning, look at the message and without realising it, send a complete stranger some money? Does he think that transactions happen so often that people will blindly send money to someone who asks for it?

One of my coworkers got a similar message during the middle of the day a couple days ago. With 400 million or so cell phone users, there’s got to be a couple hundred thousand suckers out there

ditto - even if one person did it, then they made a profit. ever see that dateline episode where they track a con artist? fascinating stuff.
