Only two days ago I was informed through email that I won a Nokia N95 and 95,000 pounds sterlings. I was curious what this would lead to so I replied to them. They asked me to fill up the Claims Form and finally to choose the payment option for delivery of what I won just as detailed by others. Of course, I don't intend to send any money; but just as I thought, they request for checks or payment for the winning prize delivery. If one sends 200 pounds or more and if a thousand people get victimized, how much total have they accumulated through Internet scam? Why can't Nokia or UK authorities crack these criminals?
I reced the same msg. from Nokia & tried to contact them on their tel. no. but in vain. I understand it is a scam and the code was of spain. So better take care guys with this scam going around.

I am surprised after reading the complaints that the offenders are still trying their luck. I too have received a text, however the text lacked creditability for the following reasons:-
1) Grammar;
2) the email address, yahoo address for Nokia?
3) country code of the text is in Nigeria...mmm; and
4) I have not entered any competitions;
Out of curiosity (and ensuring my identity is protected), I responded to the email: the response as follows:-

To make the email look like it comes from a creditable source they use a link to the Nokia website as well as using Nokia logo’s (this is in itself easy to copy and paste). Don’t be fooled and don’t for a minute think that this is a valid competition. The least Nokia can do is post a comment on their official websites acknowledging that their good name is been used for fraudulent purposes and to warn existing and future customers.
