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'm guessing if you were to try to contact the person of question in the message he would let you know how lucky you are to be a winner. Then in order to claim your prize you just have to pay a small fee or hand over your bank info so he can transfer the winnings into your account. Either he takes the small fee and you never hear from him again or he drains your bank account. Yea, a contest from nokia would use a windows live account for it's contact info... DERP! DERP! IM DROOLING ON THE FLOOR CAUSE IM BRAIN DEAD! DERP! Get a ###ing clue people. I didn't realize ### like this was so brain crampingly hard! Oh wait it isn't, you're just all ###ed.

My mother in law just received the same text telling her that if she sends an email with the claim code she will win $750, 000 pounds. Now we are from New Zealand and that would be almost triple our dollar here and having that kind of money would have meant a comfortable life for our entire family extended family included, now in NZ we believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt, and thats exactly how it is for my mother in law(bless her good heart) but lucky she has her son and I because unlike us she is more gullable purely on the notion that she truly believes that people have good hearts, they just tend to do bad things but they are not bad people, but my husband and I we believe you dont get anything you dont work for so going on that we looked it up, and thank goodness for google because I was able to look up the scam and found all of your guys comments and showed my mother in law and not entirely but 50% of her now knows that some people are just that "BAD"...Shame on you who ever you are doing this scam on innocent people like my mother in law...
