I receive an sms from my cellphone on the 28february2013. "congratulations!Your mobile number has won 150, 000 in the nokia global promo, ref no 0114. For claims contact mrs. Sonia owen on tel: [protected]. I phoned the number the lady named sonia answered by saying nokia contact centre. I askee for landline number for the contact centre, she gave me this number:[protected]. When I phone the number, the guy answered saying "nokia head office, how may we direct your cal". I quiry about sms I received then he asked for ref no, then further say I must phone sonia owen as shes the one who will activate my winning voucher. Soni further said to me in order for my cheque to be paid into bank or be couried to my address I must buy mtn airtime for r180, then phone her again to activate my winning. By the look of things I am not the only victim because she keeps asking my name and end up saying am I veronica. I am worried that people are been frauded by this sms scam.

I live in Trinidad (Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean) and I got the same sms last night. The email I was to reply to (40 years nokia-finland.org) and claim code was the same as mentioned in a few other comments. Judging from the number of comments since the original post on 2009-01-25, it's safe to say this is a scam.

i also received same message as aboved. If this is true why nokia not even call me. If they can pay 1, 000, 000 GBP why they can't even give me a call ? By the way, what's funny is that my mobile is SAMSUNG & KONIA awarding me for using SAMSUNG mobile? isn't funny?
