Hi all

This Morning I received a sms stated Congratulations! Your cellphone number won Rxx.xx in the * NOKIA* Yearly Special Promo. With Ref/No. XXXX Call 0836968582 for your cash prize.

This sms was sent from 0729074209

am i Correct?
 
It's got to be real, oh my god, it's real, no really?!
 
Lol bilal i'm going to put this VERY MILDLY to you.....

If you not sure then you probably deserve to be scammed!

Seriously in this day and age you still so gullible?What are you over 80 or under 10years old?anybody in between KNOWS this is a con.....no DOUBT even involved.

Sorry if i'm coming across as harsh but im tired of family members and other south africans I know carrying on dumb,have you ever entered or heard on tv or mainstream media an ad of that competition?If no then delete the message immediately.

On second thoughts go ahead and get scammed out of your money/id details/banking details etc.....
 
Jesus, seriously! Are you actually asking if an unidentified sms with an unknown origin from a Multi-National Billion dollar corporation, informing you that you have won a million Rand in a competition you never entered, is actually for real?
 
Falcon786 i know this is a scam, but i wanted to know it anyone else know about this scam. Any wanted to also know how did they get my cellphone number.

Also i wanted to phoned the number and acts like dumb and trying to see who is the people doing this scam
