Mln.mts.ru - divorce or not? Mln.mts.ru: reviews

Subscribers of the mobile operator "MTS" not so long ago, as early as last autumn, came tempting SMS messages. They contained information about the fact that anyone who received this notice can send a message to a short number and get a chance to win a million. It literally sounded like this: "Send" Yes "to 3737 or visit min.mts.ru». The divorce here was, of course, obvious: no million people were seen in the eyes, whereas the payment for the SMS message sent (if the recipient was naive enough to send it) was already written off from the account.

More details on how the new divorce from MTS works

So, in the message that the subscriber receives, the operator specifies that sending SMS to the specified number is free. This, of course, could not but interest the naive user: they say, why not try for the sake of interest, suddenly, really, something can be won? However, this was only a screen, with the help of which a real deception was concealed. After the same "Yes" was sent to 3737, MTS offered a divorce even more sophisticated and cunning with the help of its website. So, the operator started a special quiz, answering all the questions of which, the man allegedly had a chance to win a huge sum. The only trick is that the answers to these questions had to be sent already to the paid number. And the number of questions (although initially there were 4) constantly increased. Thus, the subscriber could lose a lot of money, so his million and not seeing.

How to check the operator's intentions?

After reading this article, a person naturally will have a logical question: how do you know that the specified action is really a scam? Perhaps bad luck is due to the will of chance, and the lucky ones who have already taken their millions exist and were really lucky? The answer to this question will be checking and feedback on the site. After an uncomplicated analysis and searching for information, one can find a lot of discontent and anger of people towards the operator organizing such events. In this case, not a single comment of the lucky one. No one. Have people received money and are silent? What is the point in this, because "MTS" is beneficial, so that as many subscribers as possible participate in the lottery. Reviews of real winners could attract new players, however such advertising can not be, because such a scam can be figured out. And, frankly, the operator does not want to complicate his life in this way, because there is no sense in it. People are so naive that they continue to be led on mln.mts.ru - a divorce about which they write so much.

Rumors about viruses on the MTS website

The Internet has information that for some time on the official website of "MTS" was a virus. At least, the corresponding information was displayed by the browser when visiting this resource. At the same time, the results of the anti-virus scan of site mm.mts.ru were negative. However, this was not easier for users, and many of them sowed panic and said that the operator sends out messages infected with various virus programs.
The reason why visitors saw this information was not the virus itself, but negative feedback about the mln.mts.ru that the deceived users left on special resources. Some browsers, as well as applications that provide security on the Web, are guided by such reviews and give out a message about a possible threat to the security of the computer. At the same time, there is no threat if you do not plan to take another quiz.

Organizer of the scam

Interesting is the information about the true organizer of the scam in which MTS is so actively attracting its subscribers. Judging by the information on the official website, this is the company "Velti", which, apparently, is simply cooperating with the operator. The details, namely how much of the mln.mts.ru (the divorce in question) brings to both companies, we are unlikely to become known. However, it does not matter, because the main thing is that you can not even trust a mobile operator who accepts payment from its subscribers and, it would seem, should be on the same side with them.

Disadvantages delivered to MTS subscribers

Of course, the risk of losing money in an alleged lottery organized by an operator for its subscribers is not the only danger waiting, as evidenced by the comments of mln.mts.ru, gullible people. In fact, even more annoying is the intensity and frequency with which messages come to users' mobile phones. As they write in the reviews, notifications could come not only in the afternoon or early in the morning, but even at night. In addition, the number of messages, despite the complete disregard for this proposal, also clearly exceeded 1-2 pieces. In fact, MTS, using its technical capabilities, made a real advertising platform from a mobile phone. After all, a message containing completely useless information will necessarily be read by the recipient, because he does not know about his advertising character in advance.

Is it possible to punish the operator?

When you yourself become a victim of obsessive advertising in SMS, the first thought that comes to your mind becomes the desire to restore your rights, sense of justice and punish "MTS". But, as practice shows, this is not so easy. To be more precise, it is even impossible. The law does not prohibit the operator from sending information, for example, about his tariffs, as well as about the opportunities that he can offer the subscriber. With the correct interpretation and legal formulation, even such an obvious one as mine.mts.ru, a divorce can be regarded as information. Prove something in the court will not work. In addition, there are certainly similar provisions in a typical contract, which the client can familiarize with if desired. Protecting their rights using the law, in this issue is impossible. SMS messages will continue to arrive with the same frequency.

How to deal with obtrusive advertising?

Are there other ways to fight? In particular, in the text of the messages received, there is information that, if desired, the client can send "No" and thus stop receiving these messages. If you read about mm.mts.ru reviews, people note that this command is ignored by the operator. And even after sending such an SMS, advertising messages do not stop.

Another way, reported by the operators of the call center "MTS", is the inclusion of the function "Blocking advertising messages." This service is available free of charge, it operates in such a way that it allegedly completely blocks the receipt of all messages containing advertisements. However, no one guarantees that it will not be disabled in the company in an automatic mode. After all, it's not the first year that they have been talking about multiple violations in the field of obsessive warnings from MTS.

Is it legal?

So is the activity of the company sending out information about its service to the site of mine.mts.ru - the divorce of clean water? Formally, as already mentioned, the operator has the right to inform its subscribers. In addition, the organization of the action is taken by another person - the company "Velti". Thus, MTS acts solely as an intermediary providing information. It turns out that in today's conditions it is impossible to prove the guilt of the operator, which means that one should not hope for punishment for conducting such activities.

On the other hand, there is a hope that our officials will pay attention to such a hole in the legislation, which allows you to quietly pump money out of gullible users. Although, of course, in fact, it is hard to believe because of the possible financial interest of the powerful this ability in the effectiveness of this scam. So for now we have to rely on ourselves: our attentiveness, caution and patience. Unfortunately, not all people are able to show these qualities, especially for older people, as well as children who already have mobile phones. By their naivete, these categories of users are now suffering, probably the most.

Other scams and scams with SMS

In fact, scams related to sending paid SMS, are not something new and original. They have been operating for many years both in the West and in our country. In addition to various TV shows, you can also see a huge number of different advertising sites offering to download certain content, register, access information and conduct a number of other actions for the message sent. Lochotron of such schemes, as they point out, about mln.mts.ru reviews, consists in writing off the funds and failing to provide the promised access or information.

In addition, it is often a case of writing off completely different amounts than originally claimed. Another example is when the user sends one SMS, after which the site is asked to do this several more times, until the subscriber runs out of money on the phone.

Everyone understands that this is a classic divorce, but nothing can be done: the organizers of such schemes formally operate exclusively within the law. All that can be done is to be careful with the messages sent by the mts ru site. Lochotron, as practice shows, is quite possible. And we also recommend to warn friends and relatives about the dangers for the state of the current balance on a mobile phone when working with such sites and services.
