Nokia review: nokai mobile promo, uk 263

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?

I am surprised after reading the complaints that the offenders are still trying their luck. I too have received a text, however the text lacked creditability for the following reasons:-
1) Grammar;
2) the email address, yahoo address for Nokia?
3) country code of the text is in Nigeria...mmm; and
4) I have not entered any competitions;

Out of curiosity (and ensuring my identity is protected), I responded to the email: the response as follows:-
“FILL AND SUBMIT THE VERIFICATION WORKSHEET BELOWSaturday, May 10, 2008 3:41 PM
From: This sender is DomainKeys verified "Dr Anthony Floyd" Add sender to Contacts To: ………@yahoo.com. contains attachmentsRules and Regulations.pdf (17KB) “Good Day to you Country:Dubai Date: 10th May, 2008 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 £182, 000.00 (One hundred and eighty two, thousand Great Britain Pounds) for our 142nd Anniversary Draws. All participants were selected through a computer ballot system drawn form 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 back to us.
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.
Thank you for being part of our commemorative 142nd Anniversary Draws.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Anthony Floyd
Tel:+[protected]

To make the email look like it comes from a creditable source they use a link to the Nokia website as well as using Nokia logo’s (this is in itself easy to copy and paste). Don’t be fooled and don’t for a minute think that this is a valid competition. The least Nokia can do is post a comment on their official websites acknowledging that their good name is been used for fraudulent purposes and to warn existing and future customers.
