Text messages from 36111

It's surely a scam!

The same thing as you ...
Same for missed calls from this kind of number and for half a second ...

Gabess, great and modest at the same time ...

Hi there, I've received the same kind of text messages and after the 5th one, I'm starting to crack, do you know who the sender is? A website? Chat? Something else? Because it's not going to go well for them!! :p

Thanks for your upcoming replies ;).

Hello everyone,
For your information, some of the numbers mentioned above by Salomon call you and hang up as soon as you answer.
The goal, of course, is for you to call them back. ^^ For me, it was 5681

PS: Have the "Google" reflex

Hi

Someone who addresses you informally and leaves a phone number starting with 08...

The almost certain thing is that they have accessed your number somehow. Have you ever signed up for a chat or something like that?

It's so nice when everything works...

Well, you have the answer in your post...

Something at the edge of legality.

Thank you for your responses, but at least if someone receives the same thing as me, they will be aware... that it’s a scam.

Have a good weekend!

Received today from 36111 at 1:18 PM and textually as follows:
INFO: The 06XXXXXXXX was drawn under the supervision of a bailiff. You win check No85010 Call 0899785018 to collect it right now

Another disguised theft missed because I don’t want to win 1 to 40 cents! I don’t respond, I delete!
With all this nonsense, they will eventually lose more than they gain and let's all go to www.conso.net to find out how to block our landline and mobile numbers for free.
Do like me and you won’t lose 3 EUROS!
Good luck!

Tired of these rich (ORANGE) who keep getting richer even through bogus messages, like:
INFO: The -- -- -- -- -- has been drawn under the supervision of a bailiff. You win the Check No----- Call 0899785018 to collect it right now MB1.35+0.34
I hope that one day someone will have the intelligence to take them to court (if possible)...
Fortunately, I had the reflex to check online whether this SMS was reliable! and apparently not...
Thank you for creating a forum of this usefulness! and death to the most scammy operator in the world :P

LOOOL I received exactly the same message.

Hello,
I should have visited the forum earlier. Usually, I don’t respond to this kind of scam, but I have to say that I was hooked by the term "under the control of a bailiff." Maybe the fact that I’ve been having money issues lately played a part as well. In the end, I think I gained a check for 10 cents. Above all, I advise all sensible people to avoid numbers starting with 08 99. I hope someone will take them to court along with the operators who are their accomplices. The politicians’ response is as feeble as usual—a simple number 33700, instead of outright banning this type of fraud.

It's not necessarily a scam. Very likely, it is an advertisement with compensation (for the operator) through the surcharge, or related to the multiplication of relays or necessary redirections.
How did they get your number? Already through various advertising databases. For example, if you have a subscription to a magazine. Or if the message is not specifically targeted. For example, if you're being offered not to contact a girl, but to win €1000, you just have to dial a random number, and you'll quickly end up reaching someone.

There you go!

Good evening,

Thank you for everything. I almost fell for the "Hi, it's me! I'm still waiting for your call." It's really disgusting. I'm going to say STOP!
The 36111 responds right away, but "Stop" no longer goes through. Response:
"MB: Service provided by mBlox, please enter the code exactly as given. Your text message will be charged at the price of a text message. This service is not charged."
If anyone has any idea about the STOP that doesn't go through. Anyway, as soon as I see a 08, I skip it.
Thanks to CCM too.

Article 1: Tobacco is a poison. Article 2: Too bad.

I just received this message about a court bailiff drawing, it's completely outrageous, it's a total breach of trust and also a form of hostage-taking; either you respond and pay, or you stop and pay for your text message as well.

Hi, I just got caught out by 36111 too... I wanted to reply to see what it was... result, €3 less!!!
for your information.... who is behind the messages???? mBLOX???????
thanks for your future replies =)

Thank you groumpf31.
I eagerly await a new post from you.
With the bailiff's contact information, we might be able to find a way
to stop this scam.

I also received calls from numbers starting with 08... and a text from 36 111. Is this really legal? Because given the scam, it would be nice to take them to court.

Same as most of you: "you have been randomly selected [...] under the supervision of a bailiff." I instinctively checked online before doing anything.

I delete this kind of message reflexively, especially when it starts with 0899, but I still wanted to know if I had really won something, the "under the supervision of a bailiff" piqued my interest, which gave it more credibility than the vulgar "hey call me back."

I am curious to hear the response from the bailiffs mentioned earlier in the replies, anyway thank you for having the courage to initiate this kind of action.
