I got the same sms, i know it was a fraud but i was compelled to see what they were scamming for. So i send and email only to find out the want:
Cost of delivery
Mailing: 575 GBP [ ]
Insurance: £1, 650.00 (PAID)
Administrative: £240.00 (PAID)
24hours delivery

Just for delivery... ### it would be cheaper to fly to the UK and get the check myself. anyways the email was very cheap looking etc. but the main question still remains how did they get my number and how did they know i am using a nokia. Any ways beware of nokiaukmobile2008@live.com .

Dear Sir/Madam. l being one of the customers of nokia l recieved a similar message claiming that l have won 210, 000 GBP. l was in the final stages of transfering 500 GBP which they say they're for VAT.

I received a text message also this afternoon. It came from a sender with mobile number +[protected]. Since I was curious about the statement of that sender that I won in a Nokia UK promotion of 147, 000 pounds, I called the number. I was able to talk to a guy who said his name was Mr. Mark Cole. He asked me to send him an e-mail with my name, country, and mobile number. I did what the guy asked me to do and I even called him again to confirm that I have sent the e-mail. However, I was still curious about the promotion he told me so I was surprised to see and realize that this is a big scam. I am still thankful that I did not give any money yet for anything. I hope that Nokia will do something about this as soon as possible.

Hi. I'm here in Dubai, just an hour ago, I've received a call & SMS from this number +[protected] telling me that I've won GBP172, 000 and to call +[protected] or email my contact detail to nokia.uk.promo@uk2.net so I could claim my price, I get to talk to that person but he won't answer directly any of my questions and the lines are so bad and he's not even british when he talks. Honestly speaking, I swithced mobile brand for more than 5yrs now. Nevertheless, I hope Nokia will do something about this great scam. Their name is at stake.

I also received a similar message. Nokia is not taking any action against such people. It indicates perhaps Nokia is allowing such people to get free publicity.

I am sending my claim to these people, If i did not get, I will claim from Nokia even if I need to go to International courts.

This morning i received an SMS by informing that your mobile number has won the sum of 200, 000 GBP in the ongoin NOKIA promotion. to cliamyour prize call Mr. FRED BOWEN ON +[protected] or E-mail to : NOKIAP23@YAHOO.COM
I was totally surprised when I had seen the message first time, then I came to know it is fraud because I noticed that the e-mail is @yahoo.com, since NOKIA has an own setup for the Domain they don’t use any external ID’s. But still we would like to know why NOKIA doesn’t stop these issues which will provide bad impacts for NOKIA.
