One of our readers has a good idea of how to stop text scams. Are you listening telcos? Continue to see what Em Sarte had to say in our article originally breaking the “Handog Pangkabuhayan” text scam.

These text messages being sent to innocent cellphone users who did not really join in alleged contests or electronic raffles should be addressed squarely by concerned government authorities or private telecommunications companies. Aside from the insults they pose to genuine lawyers in our country, it frustrates me to think that the networks we subscribe to do not at all devise a scheme to detect who are the foolish people behind this scam.
