Nokia review: nokia yearly promotion 87

This morning at 3:45 I recieved an sms stating that I won R250 000.00, I even recieved a Reference number (010KP) and in order to cliam my cash I should call between 8 and 5, taking a chance and calling the number hoping to recieve an answering maching as one would expect to recieve if you called NOKIA, all i got whas a voice mail light service, these people must thing we are stupid, i mean how many scam are going around of this nature, I mean really now

Here are the numbers: the sms came from +[protected] and to cliam the prize [protected].

come to think of it this is after i Rica ed my number

I also received a sms this morning at 03H10 in the morning, telling me the following: : "Congatulations! You have won the sum of R175000. Your cell phone number was randomly selected among our lucky winners on NORKIA yearly promo with ticket number (66542NYP). Call Mr Billy @ [protected] b/w 8am - 6pm for assistances. Thanks.

The sms came from this number [protected]. I phoned this Mr. Billy later the morning, but he didnt sound very professional. He further said their offices is in Bloemfontein!

He was asking my cell number, ticket number and he gave me two options on how I can receive the money. He said that I have to phone back in five minutes so that he could verify my number on the system, which I did, but I was asking myself the question: "Why on earth do he wants me to phone back and why couldnt I just hold on for him to verify my details?"

Please be aware, this is definately a scam.

You people don't warrie GOD will take care of these people. I got this email this morning that i have won R500000 and Nokia E65 they asked for R150 Airtime and then they want R1820 to send me my phone and money.

Please people be aware of that scam. I also receved an sms saying i have won the sum R95 000 and my ticket no is 0152N, for claim i must call Dr james abolt on [protected] and i did that then he told me to purchase an R180 mtn voucher from shoprite, spar or pick n pay so that they can activate my winning. Immidiatley i know that it was a fraud and i did not do anything. MTN and Nokia must do something about this their name are going down.

I also recived the same sms on monday morning at about 02:00am and when i called the lady picked up the phone she sounded halfasleep and that's what opened my eyes and when she told me that i ahve to buy two MTN vouchers for r180.00 that concluded that it is a scam.
Please ladies and gents do not fall for this.

This morning at 2h57, i received an sms from this no. [protected] that my no. have won R95, 000 on the NOKIA YEARLY PROMOTION. REF no.010KP. it further said i should call [protected] to claim my price. i knew it was a scam because companies telephone numbers have more digits. i didn't even bother myself by tring to call them. NOKIA company should do something about this scam as it is dragging their name in the mud. Rica should also help on catching these scammers.

I received today the same sms, reading, congratulations...your cell number was among the lucky winners in the nokia yearly promotion 2011. You won, R95000, 00. ticket nr... contact Mark morris your claim agent on [protected] for your cash prize, make sure your ticket no is activated...what a scam...please someone catch these people.Jen

Hi there this morning i got a sms to say that i have won R100 000 in the Nokia yearly promo and my ticket no is NP301 i must please contact Mr Joe on [protected] for activation & for your claim. when i phoned him he said i must buy a R100 mtn voucher and sms the voucher no together with my name, surname and my banking details to him. then he asked me when am i going to do it and that i must do it today because tomorrow is saterday. what must i do?

Vandag het een van die bobbejane my ook gesms en gesê ek het R175000.00 gewen en gesê ek moet R2850 versekerings geld betaal voor ek my geld kan laat uitbetaal deur Butlers Bank in Engeland. Hul gee my toe ñ ene mnr S. Plaatjies se bank besonderhede [protected] Standardbank. Volgens die takhaar moet ons die geld in ñ privaat ou se rekening inbetaal om die geld makliker trek, want volgens dié platneus vat dit 13 dae om die geld te kry uit ñ besigheids rekening. WTF? Moet nie die geld oorbetaal nie en moet om Hemels Naam nie lugtyd vir die boskinders gee nie, dit is een van die vereistes om MTN R300 lugtyd te koop om ñ verwysings nr te kry, hul mors net jou tyd en geld! Die uwe, Gatvol

I aso got this sms. Nokia should do something about this. The person in this sms was Mr Eric and his number is [protected]. Luckily I saw this as a scam and hung up on him.

WE HAVE ALSO RECEIVED A SMS SAYING THAT WE HAVE WON R120.000 AND THE TICKET NO IS O166P. WE DON'T KNOW IF ITS TRUE OR NOT BUT WE HAVEN'T ENTERED ANY COMPETITIONS.IF IT IS A SCAM THEN I THINK IT SHOULD BE WIDELY PUBLICISED AND NOKIA AND MTN SHOULD BE TAKEN UP OR OUT.THIS IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS meshach4angie@gmail.com IF NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS; WE WILL FORM A COMITTEE AND TAKE THIS MATTER TO COURT

I am obviously distressed that there are fraudsters out there actively preying on the population. However, I would be more distressed if I were to find out that the police are not in active pursuit of each and every fraudster. As soon as I have posted the details of my scam sms, I will be trying to ensure that the case is taken up. I received an sms on 18 January 2011. It says I won R195, 000 and Nokia E65 in the NOKIA YEARLY PROMOTION. My ticket No. is E22 and my contact is GREG SMITH @ [protected]. When I called 'he' answered and asked that I fax my name and address to his phone and I was to call again for further instruction.
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? ARE THE POLICE AND NOKIA DOING ANYTHING OF ANY EFFECT?

I WAS SUSPICIOUS ABOUT A SMS I RECEIVED ABOUT A NOKIA YEARLY PROMOTION - WON R150 000
IS NOKIA GIVING THIS INFO THROUGH TO THE POLICE SO THAT THIS PEOPLE CAN GET CAUGHT?
SEL NO FROM WHICH I RECEIVED THE MESSAGE IS [protected].

PLS REPORT

I also got the text that i have won R85 000 ref no SAF 066/2011 CONTACT NO [protected] but what I do not understand is how they still get away with it, is that not the reason why we had to RICA our numbers so that there would not be scams and stuff like this, that just make me think that the RICA story also do not work. C P F

hi i received the same sms twice, these are serious about their scam, please lets try to fight these together by making other people aware eg on facebook!

I just received the same SMS today saying that I my sim card has won R95000. and that I should contact Mr Justice on [protected]. I then got to work and called the guy and told him that I'm constable form the polise station and have someone who has the SMS and wants to find out if the claim if ligitimate. Then Justice answred the phone and then said he cant talk if my number shows private and them droped the phone. I tried to call again, and he closed his number. I mean, if it was innocent why worry that someone called with a private number and them drop the phone? I then realised that this must be a scam. Thank God that I was vigilent. Johannes.

I also received this sms from +[protected] at 01:24am on 23rd Feb 20011:"CONGRATULATIONS! your sim no has won the sum of R95, 000 in our (NOKIA-YEARLY PROMOTION)your ticket no is 0166p. contact your claim agent MPHO on [protected]". I decided to call the said agent who sounded a woman. She claimed to be in Gauteng. She asked me to call her after 20min to confirm the winning ticket I read to her. I called again after 20min and she asked me how I would like to receive the prize money. I ran out of airtime and didn't call her again. I believe this's real scam. WE MUST STOP THIS FRAUD!

I think someone must do something about this because these people are making money out of other as we speak. Please Nokia or MTN take action. Your valuable customers need it

Congratulation! : Your mobile no has won R195.000 and NOKIA PROMO. with ticket no. o166p. for claim call Mr. Paul Benson [protected]. Another no [protected]. Hey I am not stupid mr Benson. Scam, scam, scam

My fiance also received an sms stating she won R150000 in the nokia yearly promotion, being the sceptic that i am i immediately googled it and found so many sites complaining about this scam, my fiance on the other hand is a very trusting person and she went and phoned the supplied number the man on the other end of the call assured her that it is not a scam and she would receive her money per cheque within 24hrs, and it would be couriered to her, the very next day she received an sms which read she needs to pay in R1400 for insurance and for the courier company, people please dont be fooled by these [censor] they make their money off trusting and stupid people.

How sick can these people get I also receeved a sms on the evening of 31/03/2011 to congratulate me that I have won R85 000.00 with my cellphone sim no in the Nokia Yearly Promotion my ref no. SAF066/2011
CONTACT MR. JAMES AT TEL NO. [protected] I phoned him and he also explained that I must buy airtime for R180.00 and sent him the airtime pin no. my cell no., banking details, full names and ID No. I THINK NOKIA SHOULD REALLY TRY AND TAKE STEPS AGAINS THESE PEOPLE AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT THEY ARE ALL FOREIGNERS. GET THEM OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA, WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OFF THEM

I also received an sms stating that my mobile number has won R250, 000 with ticket no 0166p and to phone
[protected], where a lady said i must purchase airtime to the value of R180 and sms the voucher no, my name and surname, ID no and banking details to her then i will receive my R250, 000 prize in a matter of 5minutes. My question is, what now? is this a scam or not? Schould nokia not look in to this? as they are messing a good brand name, because no one knows wheather to belive them or not when receiving calls from nokia.

I know it is a scam due to them requesting my banking details and that I will need to pay over MTN Vouchers to allow the transfer to commence.

I've phoned the lady named zanele in connection with this "nokia promotion" I'm highly disappointed at the state of corruption in our beautiful country. After doing some research on her cellphone number I found that she was connected to the scam which uses nokia promotions as a front. After asking to speak to her boss I was refered to a gentleman that couldn't seem to stick to a specific accent asking me for personal details which were totally irrelevant. Something needs to be done about this by lawful authorities before the people of the land take this matter into their own hands.. Blood will be spilt if this issue is not resolved SOON. I find it highly embarrassing that the services that are supposed to protect communities against such crimes can do nothing with all the millions spent on the apparent equipment they buy with OUR tax money

Ha Ha - only fools believe they will get something for not entering a competion.
