Hello Gazeteers, wanna bust some text scammers like a Ghostbuster? Well here some short tip to make this scammer taste their own medicine by finding out and reporting it. Check it all after the break.

Oh yeah, before I wrap this short Tip, here's how to report:

GLOBE:
• Submit a Spam Message Report via globe.com.ph/stopspam
All you need to do is fill out the eight required fields which include your name, mobile number, and the details of spammer or scammer’s mobile number and message. You can also upload a screenshot of the spam or scam message.

• Tweet or send via DM (Direct Message) the spammer or scammer’s mobile number and the exact content of the message (preferably via screenshot) to Globe’s Twitter account @talk2GLOBE.

SMART:
• Submit a report via smart.com.ph/postpaid/smart2know
Like Globe’s, you just need to fill out a report with the option to send a screenshot. It’s a lot simpler though as you only need to fill out three required fields.

• Call Smart’s hotline at *888.

• Report by sending a tweet to Smart’s Twitter account @SmartCares

When You're done, just block the number with a Phone No. Blocker application you have. So See Ya Guys and Happy Ghostbust- I mean Scam-busting!
