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

Its still going on... I just got one just now (12/4/2017 3:00 pm exactly) on my cell as a text message, and I am with metro pcs which is a fairly new cellular phone service, I dont even get wrong number calls or any advertising calls cause its that new and it says:
"congrats! / your number won 250, 000 gb pounds in nokia uk promo to claim call +[protected], mail: [protected]@clix. pt"
And thats it not even a good e-mailing address? if they are going to try and scam anyone they could at least use proper english and correct information. lol! everyone is right about why hasn't the nokia company gotten involved.. maybe they can't catch them or something. who knows... don't trust it... dont even try to call... its all a big huge scam!

I like to thank this site for this eye opener... for everybody to see and read. when ever you see something strange with your electronics gadget; take a pause come here and throw it out and see people reaction. do not open or access it. such scams are for collecting data... you might give away much more than you think. and last but not the least... to protect yourself and your people do not be greedy with money. when things are getting to more than 50% profit gain, start opening your eyes. and that is even if you have invested time money and the likes; and when you have invested nothing, and the gain is because you seems lucky to gain 1% is a scam.
Be careful... let start working...

Hi my friend, I think we should stop this here. because you seems not to understand what I mean. by telling me to give them my phone number calling them, maybe you think if I block my number is a problem to your friends... I trust this site and believe its not a scam you are pulling on me to get me to your friends.
I will stop here with the admission that my country might be into 419, but not with the encouragement from others. and I will like to say very clearly that you do not ever refer to nigeria as having 419 as her nation identity or I will call you a nigerian meaning what you mean a 419 devilish person. I am not interested in where you are from but where you come from is no immunity from being a 419 yourself.
I will not call the number... have it easy and maybe try reading my first comment again. it might save your entire being.
Have it nice.

Cool to hear that... that means we nigerian`s still has a lot to do. but if people are still encouraging their nigerians friends by playing the scam and opening their real friends and family to the scam. because their friend in nigeria do not really need them. all they want from you is that you exist which you might have done by answering the mail. and everything about you is checked from your friends to your family. and maybe your cousin is more greedy. the ip thing you did was because your mail was strange. your partners in nigeria are on it 24hrs all year round.
If people like you are involved in this scam, encouraging 419 the possibility of such a devilish way of earning money. I use the word "devilish" because I know what I am talking about-419. an emblem people are trying to paste on nigeria. I think the biggest task we nigerian`s have is maybe we leave the word "nigeria" for 419 and its global friends and look for another name for our mother land.
419 is not my national identity - when you think you are smart we just out smart you. why did you play the scam;thought you make some free money you have not worked for... the same mentality as your friends in nigeria

Sorry, but do not try being smart with me... I am a nigerian. not one of your friends.

I am a nigerian living in switzerland and solidly believe the sms is a money stealing scam. what I do not agree is mentioning nigeria as the center of it. and what about the other nationality surrounding this center-nigeria. I plead with the whole world, that some nigerians are trying very hard to redeem the image of this nation being taking advantage of because of it growing time experience and be more precise with what we tell. such statement is as damaging as to accuse america for all the bombing around the world... it all started in america. its o. k by me to give all people involved nationality rather than point finger to one. for as much as I have heard the 419 scam I think by now its not all a nigerian thing; some other nationality have learnt the evil ways too. with nigeria as the only official 419 country mentioned by everyone every time. may lead people off from thinking away from the one and only way to way to stop being cheated - "never expect from where you have not sown". and those that have this in mind are open to 419 and also a passive 419 person in mind. with the economy crises now ;I think any pure in heart person would think twice about company giving out free money and then the companies are reachable ; even nigeria web site, to check the originality of the txt, mail or what ever... if you ever fall for a 419... check yourself you are one too.
Think normal and stop dreaming about winning some money... to make money you have to work for it.

I wonder how your company can be so reckless that fraudsters have made your site the home of duping people and yet you find nothing wrong with that. it is a pity if this is what we deserve as your vibrant customers. are you sending messages to people or not?

Wouldn't you just wish it's true?!
When something seems too good to be true, it usually is
Don't give away any personal information unless it's undoubtedly proven to be nokia and you are on their premises.
These things are usually phishing scams.
