I have the same text from the same phone number twice saying: "Your entry last month has WON! Goto http://bit.ly/IH0Q9z and enter your Winning Code: "1122" to claim your FREE $1,000 Bestbuy Giftcard!" Since I don't remember entering anything last month, I'm pretty sure it's a scam.
I got the same text as above from the same number: "Your entry last month has WON! Goto http://bit.ly/IH0Q9z and enter your Winning Code: "1122" to claim your FREE $1,000 Bestbuy Giftcard!" I went to the site. It's a scam. It has you type in your email address before you can see anymore, and after you type in your email it asks you to give a LOT of personal info, as if you're inputting credit card info, and it doesn't accept PO Boxes (why would a gift card not work with a PO Box?). I went to the Privacy Policy on that page and this is what it said about personal information, under section 3.1 (a):
"We will share any and all personal information you submit to our Company with third parties who may have products or services you will find of interest. We will share your information without your additional consent.
