I also received an sms on my mobile congratulating me because my mobile number has won *250,000.00 in the ongoing Nokia Mobile Promo asking me to call +[protected] & E-mail: nokia7784yahoo.com. When I phoned nobody answered and when I sent the e-mail I was told that e-mail address nokia7784 does not exist.

I would be obliged if your company can confirm if this is true or false. Either way I would like to be told what steps I can take.

I am from Malta.

Thanking you

SMS RECEIVED FROM NOKIA UK, CONGRATULATING ON WINNING GBP 147. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT SINCE I DID NOT ENTER INTO ANY KIND OF RAFFLE DRAW OR PROMOTION BY NOKIA. I'VE NEVER BEEN TO UK SO I WAS SURE IT WAS A SCAM. IF YOU HAVE NOT ENTERED INTO ANY DRAW HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO WIN?. THINK TWICE. ITS CLEARLY A FAKE ONE AND GET USED TO IT. I RECEIVE A LOT OF EMAILS SAYING I WON THIS AND THAT.. ITS ALL JUNK MAIL AND WASTE OF TIME. I AM SURPRISED HOW MY NUMBER REACHED THESE A**HOLES. ANYWAY
JUST DELETE IT AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES. WORK HARD AND LIVE HAPPY.! I REQUEST ETISALAT AND NOKIA TO TAKE ACTION ON IT.

This is a fraud... I called Nokia in the UK and I was told there is currently no such promotion. It is an awful thing to give people empty hopes. There are already enough problems in the world without thoughtless SMS's being spread around.
