Scam and cheating!
Complaint Rating: 100 % with 22 votes
Today i received a txt message claiming i have won 150,ooo GBP, i deleted the sms because:

1. They sent the sms via a different number than the one they want you to call.
2. Their is no way a big company like nokia will sms you on such big winnings, if they can offer such a package, why cant they call, how much more do they have to loose.

THIS IS DEFENITLY A SCAM.

I got the same sms which says " CONGRATULATION! your mobile no. has won (GBP) 300,000.00 pounds in the ongoing NOKIA MOBILE PROMO. For claims, call +447045757563 & email: nokia-uk(at)europe.com"

So i sent 2 emails, one to the above and the other one to Nokia Care line in Middle east & Africa

The cheaters replied next day saying" Good to hear from you regarding the NOKIA MOBILE PROMO. My names are Dr. Anthony Floyd. I am the Nokia Cash officer assigned to winners on the Mobile sweepstake.

In line with the commemorating event marking our 142nd anniversary we rolled out over £16,000.000.00 (Sixteen Million Great British Pounds) for our 142nd Anniversary Draws. All participants were selected through a computer ballot system drawn from 25,000 company mobile numbers, and 30,000,000 individual mobile numbers from the 45 mobile networks from Australia, New Zealand, North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Africa as part of International Promotions Program, which is conducted annually in Britain, London.

This promo is approved by the British Gaming Board and also licensed by the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR). This promo is the 1st of its kind and we intend to sensitize the public. To begin the verification process of your prize, you are required to fill and send the claims form below"
I wish to on behalf of all members and staff of NOKIA congratulate you on your win and wish you the best of luck as you spend your good fortune.

BUT I DIDN'T FILL THE FORM OR SEND THEM ANY INFORMATIONS

On the other side Nokia Care Line - orginal company had replied to me within 48 hours saying " Thank you for emailing Nokia Careline.

Oh my god! It is such a relief to read all these comments. I got an SMS on my mobile and then a confirmation email from a John Mariott from the Uk Nokia office saying that i have won 100, 000 pounds..Initially i thought Nokia couldnt just fool people as its a big company..bt when d amount is huge u do get very inquisitive..did a lota research on the subject and came across this website..thanks for opening my eyes to this issue..i was almost convinced to go ahead with d courier and other formalities. BTW the Berkley office address that the email referred to has no connection whatso ever with nokia office address. ANd the the no. dat they specify is not reachable.This is definitely a scam.
