Scam or true!
Complaint Rating: 91 % with 196 votes
Company information:
Nokia UK
South Africa

On the 16th August 2007 i've got a txt message from Nokia UK saying that I won 182,000 pounds from the Nokia Mobile Promo. I've send them an e mail which is (nokia.inquiry@uk2.net and to call at +447045724899). I send them an email, on the morning of 16 August and again the afternoon on the 17th August as I did not hear from them in response of my email. In the evening I received a call from someone, claiming to phone on behalf of Nokia UK regarding my email. He apologized for not responding earlier and said that they will still forward me a document. So for I did not receive any such a document.

After reading some complains in the same regard, I am now in doubt. Is this true that Nokia UK are having us receiving this money or is this a scam?

This is with regards to the same sms I received dated 20 October about my cell number informing me that I won 150,000 pounds in the nokia mobile promo. Then I received another email dated 21 October asking me to fill up a nokia payment release form and that I am going to pay the cost of delivery. I also called Dr. Floyd and he told me that they will send me another email. Actually I have doubts beforehand but out of my curiosity I followed the directions given to me then I've search in the internet about this and found out that this is a scam... so if this is a scam there should be a punishment with this Dr. Floyd to stop this...

I have received a similar SMS notifying me that I have won (an unsolicited) 172 000 UK pounds in a worldwide Nokia Mobile Promo on 21 August 2007. Nokia SA and MTN did not know anything about it and advised me to call Dr Anthony Floyd at his (supposed) UK number, which I did. He told me to send and e-mail with my name, cellphone number, e-mail address and country of residence, which I did. I thereupon received a verification form requiring name, address, birthdate etc., by e-mail, the same as those reported by your other correspondents. As I became increasingly suspicious about the whole business I e-mailed Nokia UK Care asking for advice. I am still waiting for a reply. Then Dr Anthony Floyd called, stressing that all our dealings must be in "strictest confidence" (he sounded as if he called from SA). The next day (24 August), I received the Payment Release form, which made my hair stand on end. On Monday 27 August I called Nokia UK (London) direct. (Their telephone number is +448700555777 ). The guy was very friendly and helpful. The first thing he said was that it was a scam and that I must have nothing to do with those people. On no account must I give them any information. Definitely NO financial info. Apparently they have received numerous enquiries about Dr Anthony Floyd and Nokia Mobile Promo UK. He couldn't tell me how these people got hold of our cellphone numbers. However, I have my own ideas about this, one of them is that they have a way of tapping into SMS's you have sent to something like WiniKhaya (forget about contributing a bit to the Nelson mandela Childrens Fund, for somebody had called me to tell me that I have won the Winikhaya NATIONAL LOTTERY! When I told her that the Lottery hasn't been run since end March (if I remember correctly), she immediately rang off. Furthermore, I have since been phished on a fake Yahoo site (The Pepsi scam) which necessitated my changing my e-mail address and password. So please take care, there are hordes of scams being run all over the place. Apparently the Nokia Mobile Promo lot get their money from you by making you pay the courier and insurance charges. Needless to say you will never be able to recover it. Whether you will get any prize money is doubtful too! So, if you answer their SMS's, e-mails or whatever, you do it at your peril.

I have also received this unsolicited email message :

"Congratulation, your GSM number won 600,000 pounds in the UK Mobile Promo, your money is ready to be sent to you, for details contact Frank Cole at fracl@inbox.com." Sender UK Mobile.

When I emailed Frank Cole he replied with more details and informed me to submit my claim to "Barbara Smith" with a list of my personal particulars.

Thanks to this forum I now realise that this is indeed an International SCAM and I am not going to reply any further. What will happen is that eventually they will inform me to remit a sum of money to them first for various fees before they can send the winning (FAT HOPE!!) to me.

Hi People,

My wife too just received an sms from these con artists congratulating her on winning GBP 172,000.00 on the on going NOKIA UK MOBILE PROMO.

I immediately smelt a rat and decided to do some research on the email id : nokia.ic@uk2.net Phone No. +447031955716 but could not find any thing.

How we could win something when we have not entered in any raffel or draw..this is really crazy.

We are in Dubai and have heard of such scams before....

Nokia should take some legal action against these crooks.

Better be carefull rather than be sorry later.

cheers people

Thanks to this webpage and other people's complaints, i won't even try to contact them.

Hi, I've also received the text message, notifying me that I won 91, 000 GBP in a nokia mobile promo, and advised me to be confidential about it. Unfortunately, they've contacted me, and I have given them my personal identification, which is my international passport (the part with my name and photo) and driver's licence (excluding financial identification). What shall I do about it?
I'm a bit hesitant about giving the money as I'm afraid it is scam. Now I know it is scam. But what should I do about the international passport and driver's licence?
