INSTRUCTIONS
• List at least SEVEN facts in full sentences. • Number your sentences from 1–7. • Write down only ONE fact per sentence. • Use your OWN WORDS as far as possible. • Indicate the number of words you have used in brackets at the end of the summary.
TEXT E
SMS scams are often presented as promotions. They refer to a cash prize you’ve won. The name of a contact person and a reference number are supplied. The prize notification usually contains a well-known trade name but the contact number the SMS was sent from and the one you should phone are always ordinary cellphone numbers. Emails usually say you’ve won the lottery, you’ve inherited money from a distant family member or someone
overseas needs your help to get money out of the country and you’ll be paid if you assist. A careful read should reveal plenty of spelling and grammatical errors in the letter. Note the email address. It
could look as if it comes from a well-known company but always contains a spelling error. The email address of major banks such as HSBC contains their name and you’ll never find them using a Yahoo or Gmail address, for instance. Phone the police commercial crime unit on 10111. They can force cellphone providers to block the relevant
cellphone numbers. Or email the police at
hq.commercial@
thedti.gov.za or call 086-184-3384. If the name of a well-known company such as Nokia is mentioned in the SMS or e-mail and you still believe
your sudden stroke of luck could be real, contact the company’s head office to find out if such a promotion exists. Inform your cellphone provider about the scam so it can list the number on its home page to warn consumers.
