I receive an sms from my cellphone on the 28february2013. "congratulations!Your mobile number has won 150, 000 in the nokia global promo, ref no 0114. For claims contact mrs. Sonia owen on tel: [protected]. I phoned the number the lady named sonia answered by saying nokia contact centre. I askee for landline number for the contact centre, she gave me this number:[protected]. When I phone the number, the guy answered saying "nokia head office, how may we direct your cal". I quiry about sms I received then he asked for ref no, then further say I must phone sonia owen as shes the one who will activate my winning voucher. Soni further said to me in order for my cheque to be paid into bank or be couried to my address I must buy mtn airtime for r180, then phone her again to activate my winning. By the look of things I am not the only victim because she keeps asking my name and end up saying am I veronica. I am worried that people are been frauded by this sms scam.

I live in Australia & received an sms @ 5.00pm on 20th January 2011 advising me that I have won 900, 000 pounds in the Nokia Awards due to celebrating 40 years. Claimcode: EMAJN. To claim the prize email to nokia.premium@hotmail.com. The sms came from phone number: +[protected]. I presume that this must be a hoax as I can see many people have put in a complaint about it. I did notice that the email address has changed. Please advise of the situation. kazza1640@hotmail.com

Hello! I live in Romania, and I also got a sms like your's, last night. It's for sure another scam of someone trying to steal monay by all means posible. So, beware! It's cristal clear that nokia will never pay that many winners at once (which company can afford and want to spend so much monay on big prizez just to advertise? ) And besides, you win- nokia calls you, to congratulate and tell you the details...why such a huge company would send an sms?...it's just not a corect and elegant corporate policy! They would establish a direct contact with the costumer...not send a brief sms in the middle of the night! I'm just curiouse if all the persons that received this sms own an nokia mobile, or a different type. Thake care, don't fall for this tricky thieves!

25.01.11 Have received the same message today but with 900, 000 pounds as the amount. The number used was +[protected] and the email address to contact is nokiac90@gmail.com.
I hope Nokia is going to publicly announce if this is a scam or not! And if it is I hope that the ppl behind it are brought to justice.

Hi i got a txt today saying "NOKIA Celbrates 40yrs! YourMobile phone number has won 600, 000 Pounds in the NOKIA AWARD. To redeem your award Send NK885G to Email: Nkia40years@gmail.com" I think this is a scam! and I dont know why NOKIA would use G-Mail as their contact point. and the amount of money is in pounds not dollars. I am in australia not the UK. this is FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE. Do not Reply to any of these SMS's or you will regret it.
