Just last month I received quite a similar text:

Content:

Of course, I am always very cautious and skeptical.  If anything happen to my father (touchwood!!!), most likely my sister or my brother would call or text me first.  I didn't reply to these texts (why want to waste my money???) but I am still keeping it because I have yet to log a complaint to MCMC (just in case they need a proof).

The things people do to make their lives easier and richer by cheating people...  Sometimes I wish they got contracted by incurable diseases so that whatever they had earned from such dishonest ways will not even able to heal them!
