I have received a text indicating I was a CNN Mobile Promo winner of 950, 000 GBP with Ref#13AU. To claim send Name, address, Mobile No. and email to [protected]@zhot.net. This text came from a South African number: +[protected]
I am not that lucky and therefore assume this is a scam?

I got the exact same message this morning but I'am from New Zealand.
ME TOO! I got the exact same msg on my cellphone at 8.23am. Im from NZ too!
I got the same message, but for 450, 000 GBP, and to cnnpromo2011@email.com
But the EXACT same phone number as above.
I received a txt from +[protected] saying i was the CNN Mobile Promo winner of 550, 000GBP with Ref#13AU saying to send Name, Address, Mobile# &Email to euroclaims11@zhot.net. Why do these ### ###s pray on the naive? I am poor and not 100% computer savvy and to get msgs like this is too good to be true but you still hope that there might be a glimmer of truth. Curse these mongrel ### to hell. I am from Adelaide, South Australia and received this scam Wednesday the 20th April at 2:30pm. Dean.
Just got this, 7:15pm in Perth Australia. Keeping it for police investigation.

I sent both txt's to the AMCA for spam investigation.
http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_310369
If your in Australia and would like to submit a spam complaint/report, It has instructions how to.
Hey Michael,
I got the same message as Roxstar and haved followed suit on the ac.ma after cheking out their website. Its the only way you should respond to this (sorry, don't know where to send spam complaints if you're in kiwiland!). I note that I checked the website becuase I hope not everyone trusts blindly the comments on here since it takes only a bit of checking to confirm; Whether involved in the orignal scam or not, THAT USER "InvestigationBoard " SHOULD FRIGG OFF! Go prey elsewhere .Seeing that they post replies to pretty much everyother scam enquiry on here saying "It is true..."(Then asking for deatils with yet again another free email address that's not even uk (.co etc!)). Could everyone one else using this post at least click on the red triangle to dislike thier comment- if not report them(after checking what I've said is true).
If you feel like spending the sms the acma to report the spam then here's hoping something will come of it.
Hi michael, received an email 2 days ago stating i was a winner in this cnnpromo2011 and that i won 450, 000 pounds because my mobile number was drawn and i won this prize. to claim i had to reply and send my details etc with identification. i did this and they replied that i have definitely one and i could chose to come to london or send only 385 pounds via western union to a British Airways World Cargo accounts officer by the name of Mrs Victoria James and i rang the office number given +[protected] and spoke to a man calling himself Mr Andrew Walters and he congratulated me. i cant believe to what extent these scammers will go to. i must admit i am so tempted to send the 385 pounds to find out...can these people caught and prosecuted for emotional disruption..hehe
