Got this call (message about apple ipad) on several of are family cell phones in the past 6 hours (starting at 3:45am est), my kids don't text to outside numbers so they ask me to check it out. Do not call or text this number, ounce they have your number you just will open a flood gate to unwanted messages. Same goes for there web site don't give them any information!
Received a text from them around 12:30 a.m. on April 2, 2012.
"Apple is looking for people to Test & Keep the New iPad 3! But only the 1st 1000 users that goto ____(website)____ and enter code BETA will Receive it!"
I actually assumed I had been spammed via Google Plus, as the telephone number was extremely similar to the messages I have received from Google Plus' SMS Notification service.
I did not attempt to visit the site. A general rule of thumb, is that if you ever receive a message about an Apple product, mobile phone, or weight loss; it is generally a serious scam. Don't visit the site.
