This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Only two days ago I was informed through email that I won a Nokia N95 and 95,000 pounds sterlings. I was curious what this would lead to so I replied to them. They asked me to fill up the Claims Form and finally to choose the payment option for delivery of what I won just as detailed by others. Of course, I don't intend to send any money; but just as I thought, they request for checks or payment for the winning prize delivery. If one sends 200 pounds or more and if a thousand people get victimized, how much total have they accumulated through Internet scam? Why can't Nokia or UK authorities crack these criminals?

Early this morning I have receive one sms with this message:

"uaeyha@emirates.net.ae YOUR MOBILE NUMBER HAS WON FOR YOU THE SUM OF 172, 000 POUNDS ON THIS YEAR NOKIA UK MOBILE PROMO. SEND US EMAIL TO nkpr1@live.com Call: +[protected] Fax: +[protected]"

I didn't response since I am aware that a lot of false sms and e-mails are spreading nowadays for the benefit of those people who wants to earn instant money.

To the CONCERNED AUTHORITY - please do something to stop this kind of illegal transaction...

Dear sirs,
I am a young teaher from Nepal. Two days ago I received a SMS in my mobile( +[protected]) which told that My mobile number has won a sum of 1, 70000 euros from Nokia Mobiles, spain as the of Nokia Mobiles Promo. They told me to contact and mail them. I called and mailed them. They say that i have won the sum and a cheque of that amount has been issued in my name. Now they are demanding about 700 euros for the delivery cost of the cheque.
I am now confused whether it is true or fake. Is there such scheme?
please let me know as soon as possible.

Dear All,

Now I just got the similar message like others who received the same thing previously from my mobile phone. Sender is Nokia UK, content as below: Congratulations! Your mobile number just won 110, 000GBP on this year Nokia UK Mobile Promotion, for claims call +[protected] and email: nokiacare@nokiaukoffice.com

Undoubtedlly this is another planned trick aiming to cheat those ignorant people.

Please be alert as this kind of cheating message is circulating again. It bounces back!

Thank you.

LOL pages up and pages down with ppl getting this same message that I just got now. BUt still ppl are asking if this actually for real.

Im reporting the number in that they asked me to call. As I see it is different from some that has been mentioned already : ++44 [protected].

My prize was $500, 000...bah...could have gotten out of this ### apartment...if only.

Seriously annoying that I get this crap on my phone now. Also a little sad that all these scams nowadays, makes it non exiting to get a message like this, as we expect them to be fals. However it did tickle my curiousity so thought I would alteast take the time to google it and here I am.

Working in a company where we deal with money from other ppl, I have seen my share of fraudsters using other ppls details. Unfortunately it way too easy and so I give my advise to keep them to yourself.
