LISTSERV - GAMBIA-L Archives - LISTSERV.ICORS.ORG

Dear Subscribers,

I have subscribed to this site and right off the hook i started smelling something suspicious. The site has very little info for its users. It does not provide you with the contacts of its owners and does not provide any accounting of who you are and what you paid in. The sites provides 24 tv channels. Out of the 24 tv channels, only 2 channels allows for viewing real time images and audio listening. Four of the channels allows you to only listen to music that i presumed to have been out dated. No pictures what so ever. Then the remainding 18 channels require you to log in to view them, if they actually are real.

But here is the trap. Pay your money, you get stock. Apart from switching from one channel to another, The only effective and working tool on their page is "pay 5 Euros". After paying, you cannot create a profile that will allow you to log in and out. Then comes the intresting part. This is the login bar that requires you to log in. How can you log in when you have not been issued with a receipt of your payment or any other info indicating you have paid. 2. No one will send you any log in id because you have no idea who is cashing your money in another part of the world. 3. This is the part that should alert you of a fraud if you don't already know. The site has no formatting menu. So there is no way for you to initiate a registration protocol.

Mr Gassama, you may be right in some way. Cus i paid my money yesterday, and today at 5pm, GRTS news suddenly came on; i belief it is live but am afraid to close the window because i cannot log in. So my pc will remain on with Grts on. Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!

Dr.Jeng .

May i join you to thank Mr.Gomez for the information.I nearly made my payment this week as well but since this info is accurate i will enjoy the free services of GRTS and TELE SAHEL.

One has to be cautious who to give your credits details on the net.So thank god you are saved from these criminals. I agree Paypal should be aware of these people.

I also wonder if Buharry Gassama knows about this conmen before sending this on the G/Lforum.

Have a bless weekend.

Fye samateh.

Thanks Pa Pierre,

I have fallen victim and paid 5 euros by paypal. Instead of being given a Username and Password, the "conmen" were asking me to send them the paypal receipt to confirm payment before being given a UserID and password. Had you not intervened at this opportuned moment I might have sent them the receipt. I had kind of contemplated fraud, and as such dragged my feet about submitting the receipt. Who knows what kind of information these conmen can extract from such a receipt.

Paypal should also be made aware of the operation of these people, don't you think?

Thanks again.

Dr. Alhaji S Jeng

The owners of the website have loaded outdated tv contents fron some african countries to entice the unsuspecting web surfers into paying a fees of 5 Euros, or so called donation. Once this payment is made, the door to "had i known" opens. Don't ask me what follows!
