This is a public service announcement :)

Recieved following sms message:

"Thanks for registering. You have been drawn at 9:23 and won the check No. 509578! Call 006703301335 to know the amount and withdraw it. Thank you"

This is a known scam. From the country code it appears to originate from East Timor.

I got the same one the other day, the funny part was the time they said the draw took place was actually about half an hour after I received the sms.

my mom got a similar sms. The question is, how did they get the number? Is someone selling a cell number db on the black market..
