hahaha! I have just received the same SMS, from phone No. +[protected], saying I won, not miserable £ 800, 000 or 900, 000, but 2 million. It was strange, because scammers usually use the email, so I checked it here., and, of course, it was no surprise to find out many people received the same kind of SMS.

ATTENTION: If you ever have to pay any amount of money to receive any prize (in real life or online), its a scam and stay away, no matter how lucrative the payout is. You'll kick yourself later.

Anyone here that says they've received money from these scams are the scammers themselves trying to legitimize the scam, or they've been sent a fake cheque/draft that will not clear when deposited.

I also received SMS that you have won 4250000 GBP. I contacted that no. I also send mails. They did reply very fast. Asked me to fill the form
two forms i have filled and send. One is pending. I also called there
Mr.James Smit. I dont know. They told me that You have won 25, 000 GBP and send congratulation. I recieved one certificate stating that you have won 425000 GBP. I told them that in certificate you have mentioned that you have won 425000 GBP and you are telling that it is 25, 000 GBP. I felt doubt in that again i called. I asked him that name one person to whom you have given this prise so that I can talk to them wether it is true or scam.

I asked them to give my prise after deducting all charges as i dont have any money with me. They did not reply after that.

Still I am confused wether it is SCAM. Shall I contact to BSNL service provider. They might be knowing that is fake or true.

By seeing comments I think it is SCAM only.

I received a message:
GSM YEARLY AWARD WINER YOUR MOBILE NUMBER HAS WON 170, 000.00 EURO IN ONGOING GSM PROMO. FOR CLAIM CALL: +[protected] OR EMAILgsm741@yahoo.com.

I just received this message 3 days back, I tried to get entouch with them believing it was true. They ask me to transfer euro 385.00 through Western Union in the name of particular person for dhl charges in sending me check, laptop, cp and t-shirt. Since I don't have resources to for the dhl charges I already rejected to send me the prize.They are still calling me giving 15 days to settle the dhl charges or else prize will be forfeited. It's good that I google this information and found out many comments above. Thank you for this information

Hello Friends,

This is fake and bogus.
I also received the same message that I am the winner of 1000000(one million) british sterling pounds.
I become very much astonished when I saw that message in my mobile because I thought that without playing any lottery or any other gambling how can I can win this much amount.

People what do you think about it, i tried to reach them but it was useless and thier email doesnt exist and they dont have real phone number or web site or company so how could dummy people think there's a reward and for what are you going to win a reward? For having a lucky mobile number? No my friend it's only a scam, think about it with your mind before you try to waste your time.

Anyway i reached the same bloody message and before it i received one from nokia uk promo so how could this be a real message? How could they give at least 500, 000 (average) for 1, 000 when you calculate it it will be 500, 000, 000 euro and 9, 848, 266, 400 dollars so how the hell they will bring all this money from ? Is the one who is sending it is builgests or one of the top rich people on the word?

Anyway forget about it.

Hi, I notice that everyone here has received a strange sms from this number : [protected], I've also received this sms four or five times, but I don't understand why and how it is possible since I'm French, I live in Paris, I don't even know UK Mobile Promo and among my friends no one receives these messages. in your case, you can read that you won 600 000 pounds or something like that, as far as I'm concerned I can't read anything except " $SmsMess " . It's obvious that what these messages say is not true, so beware.
