In the middle of the night, my phone received a text message. I thought it was something important from my wife because we were living 300km apart, but I was quite dismayed when I read:

Consider my surprise when this sequence of messages happened:
First, I got a message from 36670 saying:
Delivery report
Delivered

16:21:50
Then, this message arrived:
RM0.00. Successful registration. No subscription fee. Price: RM3.00/SMS. 2sms/Day. Renewal on 28/02/2016. to cancel, send STOP IO01 to 36670.
28/01/2016
16:22:56
I promptly replied by sending STOP IO01 to 36670. A couple of minutes later, this arrived:
RM0.00: Your subscription to IO01 has been terminated. Thank you for your patronage. Helpline 03-80600842

16:24:07
Can you imagine what will happen if I ignored the first message?
This came two weeks earlier:

Yes, I immediately replied to stop the subscription.
RM0.00: You hv successfully unsubscribed the MCOSPLAY service. To subscribe again, send ON MCOSPLAY to 23233.

Those two subscription-forcing messages were actually continuations from the first chain of messages with 33282:

A.K.U.G.U.R.U. actually means 'I am a Teacher' (Aku guru in Bahasa Malaysia). It contains all the items related to my profession as a secondary school English teacher which includes my English lessons, my interests, my passion for Liverpool FC, and also my family affairs. Hope you enjoy your reading!
