HAVE A CHECK ON YOUR PHONE TO KNOW IF ANYBODY IS MONITORING YOUR LINE.

in #steem-bounty7 years ago

This message below has been sent to me a lot and has been rebroadcast in groups.

PLS HAVE A CHECK ON YOUR PHONE TO KNOW IF ANYBODY IS MONITORING YOUR LINE. THE STEPS ARE VERY SIMPLE.
This is Very very informative!!
*Please dial #61# on your phone to know if your phone number(s)/line(s) is(are) being monitored!
When you dial the code (
#61#), it will show either line forwarded or not forwarded.
If it shows call forwarded; that confirms that your phone number/line is being monitored!. If it shows Not forwarded it means u are safe. If it is forwarded pls dial ##21# to remove the _"monitoring device" from that phone number/line! Then, no Secret security agent can ever monitor your line again. We are not under military government or in a police state.
Please do this for ALL your phone numbers/lines!

The funny thing about this message is, whenever i try the code i get this message " Call forwarding on no reply +2348020100132 - No reply time15s - Activate." then when i dial the second code i get "setting cancelled". According to the statement above you will never be monitored so i believe when I try the first code again it should state not forwarded but it shows the same message the first time i tried it.
My believe is the above message is a prank or maybe i am the one who do not understand the message. Anyone with better explanation?

Sort:  

Forwarded messages like this are seldom true. Most of them are jokes or scams. I believe if something like this would be true you would be able to read something from an not anonymous source about it.

On the other hand I really do not give a sh** if someone is monitoring my phone (of course I do also believe this is unnecessary and false). The thing is if certain people wanna know every single aspect of your live there is nothing you can do to prevent that so why bother about that stuff then if you are not able to change it.

Totally agree with you.

Just wondering since I saw it on Gina's notification: How are you able to change your vote weight? Thought its only possible with at least 500 Steem Power in your account?

I have no clue but I am about to try it with my phone and see what happens.

@unserious has set 0.100 SBD bounty on this post! logo_for-light-bg_1000.png
What is a bounty exactly?

A bounty is money sent to a post to be distributed to the users commenting on it. It provides a way to reward users directly and works in addition to the steem/sbd they receive from the blockchain. It works independently of SteemPower.

You create a bounty by sending any amount of sbd/steem to @steem-bounty together with a post-url in the memo.

How can I earn a bounty Users are then competing for the bounty by writing their answers to the post in comments that will achieve upvotes from the community and especially the bounty creator. The money of the bounty gets distributed to all top level comments of the post at the same time when the post is paid out (7 Days after it was written). How much everyone gets depends on the votes the comments received. The sender of the bounties votes are weighted higher so that she decideds where 80% of the bounty money goes and all other votes determine the rest.

@steem-bounty does all of this for you automatically. You can use this service to automatically pay out a challenge, ask a hard question or simply to reward the people that interact with you.

Congratulations to the following winner(s) of the bounty!

  • @elleok has earned 0.053 SBD. 0.034 SBD from the creator of the bounty and 0.020 SBD from the community!
  • @rentmoney has earned 0.046 SBD. 0.046 SBD from the creator of the bounty and 0.000 SBD from the community!
