My uncle received a text saying that he won $165GBP. So i decided to look into this and after reading some complaints found out that this is a scam. totally unbelivable because we live in fiji, which is a small island nation in the pacifc and to receive a text all the way from nokia uk was kind of weird.

SO BEWARE PEOPLE.

I have received exactly same scam and unfortunately dint know much about him. However before it was too late, after discussing with my friends, I called my bank and asked them not to authorize any transaction without my permission. I also sent an email to these people saying I know its a scam. We really need to take more caution against such people who make a living out of robbing innocent people.

In fact we got an SMS saying that we won 84000 GBP from Micheal Udu in Nokia UK and we proceeded with them and sent them our information and we live in Cairo, Egypt and then we gave them our bank account to transfer the amount. Then we got an e-mail saying that we have to pay 550 GBP as transfer costs so I don't know whether this is a trick or a fraud or what i just want to make sure if so our info or bank account won't be used for any bad intentions.

Dear All.

Even i have gone thru this, i received a sms saying that i won 100, 000 GBP and was asked to fill up a verification form with my name and email address... i even contacted that person Dr. Anthony Floyd and he spoke to me over phone saying congrats for winning this amount... but after going thru this web site i understood that it is a fake mail...

Why cant Nokia do something about it... and try to catch these culprits for making fun of people and dupping them.

I hope nokia is very much a capable company and can take up this matter more seriously as it is companys name that is being misused.

Hi was wondering if the message below is one of your promotions

Dear All,

You may wish to add another mobile to your wardrobe

Nokia Is Giving Away Phones For "FREE"! Nokia is trying word-of-mouth advertising to introduce its products. And the reward you receive for advertising for them is a phone free of cost!

To receive your free phone all you need to do is send this email out to 8 people (for a free Nokia 6210) or to 20 people (for a free Nokia WAP).
Within 2 weeks you will receive a free phone.

(They contact you via your email address).

You must send a copy

They are very bust tryiing to hit persons in the caribbean who are unaware of the scams and do not have access and the brains to always "GOOGLE" these letters. It's amazing what you find!

well I also received the msn into my nokia mobile phome in qatar...they said to call this spanish phone. I did but the diference is that I am spanish and could tell that guy was liying...he just want your money...is a way of making money. or why they always use mobiles in diferent countries. If you are in India call Uk. If you are in Qatar Spain. if you are in Uk call Us...is all a lie to get your deteils and some cash. That person who wrote that he got the prize is lying because if he did, beliebe me he be on holiday and no trying to convince us is tru. I got excited when I got the msn and they are playing in that, hoping that some people will believe their lies. Come on! there is a crisis...you really think they are gonna give free money if you did not bought a tikect ot someting!

Take care and be careful
