This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Its still going on... I just got one just now (12/4/2017 3:00 pm exactly) on my cell as a text message, and I am with metro pcs which is a fairly new cellular phone service, I dont even get wrong number calls or any advertising calls cause its that new and it says:
"congrats! / your number won 250, 000 gb pounds in nokia uk promo to claim call +[protected], mail: [protected]@clix. pt"
And thats it not even a good e-mailing address? if they are going to try and scam anyone they could at least use proper english and correct information. lol! everyone is right about why hasn't the nokia company gotten involved.. maybe they can't catch them or something. who knows... don't trust it... dont even try to call... its all a big huge scam!

I totally agree. my mother just got a sms text not so long ago and yup it said exactly the same thing. I replied to the sms and told them to f* off. my mum was about ready to give these guys a call, lucky I checked this website first. thanks for the info, much appreciated.

I live in fort cambell, ky and I just got this message. I have a cricket phone that is pre-paid. they are using a different number now ([protected]). maybe someone needs to get their head out of their you know what, and fix this problem. thank you all for letting this soldier know its a scam.

Hi
Well it's still going on... i'm in new zealand and I received the exact same message on my phone this morning. thought it sounded like a bit of a scam so I googled it this morning... which has of course led me right here.
What a bunch of idiots these people are that sending out these txt messages, it's quite laughable really.
