I recieved this sms 8 o'clock this morning: "Congratulations! Your cellphone number won £2 million pounds in the Mobile Uk Promo. Promo code: UKMBL. To claim send email to: [protected]@ukmobilelottouk.com"

hey guys, got a text a few days ago as well-but not for 2 mill it was only 400, 000 pounds i followed it threw with a few incorrect details and made a new email and after several emails back and forth it ended up asking for 24, 824 baht about 800 australian dollars for the reason of tax duty or something like that. just wondering if their is anything that can be done about this. my heart goes out to the people that fork out that much money to a scam.
Hi from Israel,
Got a text a few days ago. Sending text: "Your cellular was selected by UK Mobile Awards and given a Ref: UK07 for 1.000.000 GBR. Contact Mr. Foster on Email: cagtmbl@gmx.com for more info".
I decided to check out, sent a letter to the specified e-mail. Two days later I received a clear instruction pimo thing to do, and a period of 14 days. Which points to the fact that if I is not declared as pobiditel, then 14 days later my winnings canceled.
What do you say to that? A new approach .. ? Another scam?
Why isn't anyone reporting and catching these ppl. I live in SA and I have gotten three of these sms in the last couple of months

It Told me to enter my ID number witch I didn't have?

So I then tried to contact them online to get my ID number and I found this... It all makes sense now Lol hahaha it a Big Scam :)
Wow, this UKMobile Lotto scam is still going around the world. I received a text message on my mobile phone today, 22 Feb 2018, in Malaysia where I live. I quote "Alert!: Your Mobile No is Selected as winner of £2750000 on UKMobile Lotto. Go to www.coolfeb.net (for me this is a telltale sign of a scam as it did not even pretend to direct me to a similar sounding UK Mobile website) to claim. enter Ref:AU564718812. helpline: info.ukmobile@cash4u (a bit of ingenuity here but it doesn't really come across as a very official though)" Note : my comments are in brackets per the quoted message received. Sender didn't even introduce himself/herself - another telltale sign. Here is the mobile # of the scammer : +[protected].
