i have recieved the same message in my cell phone but the strange is that i recieved a similar message 3 or 4 months ago from alpha telecom UK too telling that i won 550, 000 GbP and sending emails to me to pay 990 GBP to send the money and when i refused they stop .
i think all that is spam .everyone who recieved the same message has to not respond to the sender.

Good Day I just want to inform you that Nokia Inc have transferred your funds of ?600, 000GBP (Six hundred thousand pounds) to Western Union office in Lagos-Nigeria due to the fact i will be travelling to the United States for a course programme and will not be coming back until three months time. We now decided to transfer the funds to Western Union office in Lagos-Nigeria with your previous information so you can get your money easily without stress. Do bear in mind that we were not able to transfer your funds to western union in your country that was the main reason that triggered the transfer. We have paid to them their transfer charges registration fee activation charges & insurance coverage fee; the only fee to be paid again is their security Safe Keeping fee of 220GBP (TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY POUNDS) only. We would have paid that but we said no because we don't know when you will contact them (WESTERN UNION LAGOS BRANCH) and in case of demurrage. I will be travelling to Florida in United States for 3 months course with my boss tomorrow and I will not come back till next 3 month time, therefore I will advise you to contact the Western Union officer in Lagos-Nigeria with his contact information as listed below for the avoidance of increase of their security safe keeping fee. Below is the account officer contact information including his email address with the transfer reference number. Note that without you indicating your transfer reference number as listed below to the Branch manager WESTERN UNION LAGOS NIGERIA, they will not listen to you they will be imagining if you want to steal another person's funds. Rev Aleron Anthony Manager Western Union Money Transfer Lagos-Nigeria.Agent ID: 00345E-mail: westyng112@live.comTel: +2348066394795Swift Code: CPEL/OWN/00345Transfer reference Number: EG2272 Also below is the informations they need to transfer your funds to you. Full name. . . .. . . . . . . .City. . . . . .Country. .. . . . . . . . .1 names that you will use to receive your payment a day . . . . . . . .Amounts send by per person a day 10, 000.00USD...Telephone ... . . . . ...Mobile Number...Passport copy if any or any form of identity card... Please make sure the information is complete as they promised that once they receive their security safe keeping fee within 2 to 3 working Hours your payment will be transfer to you according to the account officer. Attached to this mail is a copy of the transfer slip. Once again, the Western Union Money Transfer Lagos-Nigeria Management does not know about the funds, it was registered as your funds with them, this is to avoid them delaying the transfer and besides I don't want you to lose your money as a winner Your transfer pin code number is (0114) take note, the amount you can receive per day is 10, 000.00USD. (Ten thousand United States Dollars) n a day. Also ask them on how you are to make the payment for the security fee to them so they can effect immediate transfer of your funds. Please update me as soon as you receive your winning prize. Looking forward to your prompt response. Regards Mark Hall+[protected]

Attention: Damiana Maria De Jesus,
Rua Cristovao Barreto / 1484
Feira De Santana/ Bahia, Brazil.

We understand you have chosen FEDEX below as a delivery option that most suit you.

FEDEX

Cost of delivery
Mailing: £30.00
insurance £320.00

NOTE: THE INSURANCE FEE (£350) IS ABSOLUTELY COMPULSORY, AND MUST BE PAID BEFORE THE SHIPMENT OF YOUR PARCEL WHILE THE MAILING FEE SHOULD BE MADE ON A CASH ON DELIVERY BASES( C.O.D) TO THE DELIVERY AGENT THAT WILL DELIVER YOUR PARCEL TO YOUR DOORSTEP).

Due to the diplomatic content of your parcel, it will be illegal to ship it without being insured as it will violate the federal delivery rules governing diplomatic parcel delivery. This means payment for the insurance fee must be made before shipment to avoid risk. This is because of some bad experience we had in the past. We can not afford to re-issue your cheque if anything goes wrong. In this case payment for the insurance fee is absolutely compulsory, while the mailing fee should be paid to any of the above listed delivery company you choose at the point of delivery.

Note: that your prize is protected by a hardcover insurance policy, which makes it impossible to deduct any amount from the money before remittance. This means that the above insurance charges cannot be deducted from the prize and hence must be provided by you before your parcel is shipped. This is in accordance with section 13(1)(n) of the international gambling act as adopted in 1993 and amended on 3RD July 1996 by the constitutional assembly.This is to protect recipients and to avoid misappropriation of funds.

Send your fees to name and address below, within the next 24hrs along side payment information of insurance fees as she is the officer in charge to receive such money.

ACCOUNT OFFICER:
Name:------- JANE COLE.
Address----- Allington House (First Floor) 150 Victoria Street London SW1E 5AE.

After you most have finish sending the money via western union you are to send to us the following information form the western union receipt that will be giving to you after payment.

NAME OF SENDER...
ADDRESS OF SENDER...
AMOUNT SEND...
MONEY TRANSFER CONTROL NUMBER (MTCN)...

May the lord be with you.

Yours faithfully,
Mr Anderson .J. Maxwell.
