Companies provide an opportunity for their customers to pay for goods or services using SMS. As a rule, these are various Internet services or mobile operators. In this case, you should be extremely careful not to fall into the hands of scammers.
Instructions
Step 1
Study carefully the terms of payment via SMS. Find out if your mobile operator is supported by this resource, specify the cost and commission, as well as restrictions on the amount of transfer and the number of operations. So, for example, if you want to pay for an online game, then it is recommended not to send SMS with the same code from different phone numbers, as this will be perceived by administrators as a fraud.
Step 2
Check the paid short number to which you want to send payment via SMS. As a rule, many companies use the same numbers for SMS payments, so you can find out in advance the real cost of such a transfer.
Step 3
Enter in the search engine a query with the cost of the required number and check the rates for different operators. For example, an SMS to 7099 costs a little more than 35 rubles on average, so if you only need to pay 10 rubles, then most likely the seller site is a fraud.
Step 4
Type the SMS that is required to make the payment. Typically, the text of the message contains information about your account, purchase and payment amount. You shouldn't come up with and add unnecessary information. SMS must fully comply with the specified details on the seller's website. Otherwise, an incorrect payment request will be received and the payment will not reach the addressee.
Step 5
Receive a reply message about the transfer of funds from your mobile account to the merchant's account. If you have not received a paid product or service, then this SMS will be a proof of payment.
Step 6
Send a confirmation code if payment for the goods is made with your phone number indicated on the Internet resource. In this case, the system processes your request and sends you an SMS notification with the need to confirm the withdrawal of funds from your mobile account. Enter the code and send a message to the specified number.
