I got this SMS from OMT a few days ago informing me that my mecanique fees which are due this month can be paid at some of their branches.
While I know this makes one’s life easier, I can’t but wonder how did OMT know my mecanique fees are due this month? And how exactly did they get hold of my phone number? It’s clear they have a deal with the ministry of finance, but that doesn’t justify giving them such kind of confidential data for marketing purposes!
I’m sure some employees at OMT can make copies of these data, so don’t be surprised if you find them online anytime soon.
You must have paid your mecanique through them before, they have been sending me reminders for my phone bill since the first time I used the services..
Not really, I never paid through OMT. It was always through either my bank or nef3a.
i actually think it’s public info, i remember seeing a link to check when your mechanique is due on i think it was cyberia’s website.
True, you can do it on this link http://www.informs.gov.lb/informs_ar/Mecanique/Fees Calculator/Pages/Home.aspx
But phone numbers associated with the registration records are not found anywhere online
Rami, you should ask officially OMT to delete your number from the database they have.
