I receieved the same message as above on 11 Octorber 2010 at 09:30:07, I thought that I was lucky then im thinking why could I win that a sum of money? That should be crap. Then I just forget it and didn't reply to the message because that will deduct my credit prepaid.
"Congrats, you've won 100000 US dollars, send your bank account details by sms text message to +2348068695022 to enable us transfer the money to your bank account"
My dad has received this message today morning and I called the number to enquire it, a male person who picked the phone, told me to sms account number to them and they will transfer the money to the account with in 1 hour.
Is this true??? Can any one believe it!!!
I have received this txt to my phone, and i was really confused at the start. when i searched about it, i know now that i didnt give any details...
i think we should report this issue.. it may be a case of identity theft.
and the funny thing is its too good to be true.
$100,000 ... !! come on ..its just bull [***] to me, to be honest
