hi, i received an SMS from the number +2348081317715 stating that my number had won 131900 GBP. and for claiming call on this

Then i did as i was instructed. I had paid 595GBP to DHL for bringing the cheque to UAE. The vary next day i received as SMS that my courier has been blocked b'coz i am non national to UK. The Customs of UK revenue has stoped the delivery order and also stating that NOW i have to pay 1500 GBP that is AED 15.000. nad believe me that is alot of money.
