On various types of fraud. zhzhitel talked about the new trick.
"A call from an unfamiliar number. I pick up the phone. Male voice:
- Hello, I beg your pardon. My modem number is very similar to yours. I sent the activation code with a message, but I was mistaken in one digit. Look, please, did you receive SMS?
A man calls my number and his modem number. I climb to watch SMS messages, in fact, the activation code came to me.
There is nothing easier than to do a good deed and dictate the numbers of the activation code of his modem to a stranger. But something alarming me:
- Yes, I received an SMS with the code, but let's send you an SMS from the number that looks like mine, so that I can make sure that your number really looks like mine. And I do not know yet what the activation code is from, all of a sudden it is access to my account.
On the other side, something is going wrong. Anxiety, notes in a voice change.
- You see, this is a modem, I can not send SMS from it.
I suggest a decision on sending SMS:
- Rearrange the SIM card in the phone, it's easy.
On the other side, mooing and hanging up.
Now we look at the message in detail: 
I am looking for information about what "Easy payment" is. It is two clicks to be found on the MTS website: 
Wonderful. If I told you the activation code, I could pay for my mobile phone, Internet, withdraw money for electronic money, and so on.
Of course, the scammers did not send any SMS from a non-existent modem. Divorce did not take place. But on request "Easy payment MTS fraud" in Yandex issued a bunch of articles.
By the way, it is noteworthy and the screenshot above shows that MTS sends system messages, subscribing to MTS, and requests activation code from unremarkable +79150008962. This can play a scam on hand.
In general, beware. This story can happen with other operators, allowing you to transfer money via the Internet. Never tell anyone your codes and passwords and share this story to keep others safe from possible fraud. "
Add from myself: be attentive to any requests from strangers associated with your phone and its number. Even the most innocent, at first glance, things can lead to loss of money and other troubles.
