Phone call or text message? I got a stupid text at 3:12am that woke me up as follows Apple is looking for people to Test & Keep the New iPad 3! But only the 1st 1000 users that goto http://ipad3winner.info and enter code BETA will Receive it!
Received a text from (201) 912-9046 around 12:30 a.m. on April 2, 2012.

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.
ALSO, if you actually Google the term "Apple is looking for people to Test & Keep the New iPad 3! But only the 1st 1000 users," you will receive MANY results... from COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBERS. All 201 area code. New Jersey Scum--no surprise here.
I actually wonder if the spam is coming from the carrier. I use Verizon Wireless. This sounds like something Verizon would do.

I got the same stupid message at around 2:00am, April 2, 2012. It could be T-mobile that is bought up by AT&T pulling stupid strings so they could zap the money off your phones. It's in the middle of the night right? Then I get another retarded messages from T-mobile saying my phone is low on money. What the hell? They zapped the money!
