I've found a few sites charging money for downloading Mini Opera

I've found a few very alike looking Russian sites which offer to download a jar-file. This file, when run on a cell phone, tries to send smss to short numbers (e.g., 8833), which charge a lot of money from your sim card. Then, in best case, you'd get a web link to download Mini Opera. This is clearly a crime and fooling people. So, what do I do? Who should I report it to? Please, admins, get in touch with me.

One more problem. Last two months, if I open MANY Russian sites via Opera Mini, UCWEB and other browsers with non-desktop useragents, they redirect me to a page with an SMS trojan. Is it possible (maybe on the OM servers) to replace the useragent with the DESKTOP one?

Any links you could provide us would help. Thanks. You could report them at http://mini.bugs.opera.com/ and then report the SKIRNE number back here.

In fact the phone UA from headers is 'catched' and redir link is served, quite a mini trap smile That's why on server info page in 'Request headers' UA should be undetected or forward phone_ua instead browser_ua.
