Nokia Mobile Promo, UK Complaints - Nokai Mobile Promo, UK

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.
