Who called from 4389988931

Received a text message saying that my number wins a check in dollars and must call 514-788-5500 to remove it immediately. It costs $ 2 per call.

So did I.  I'm assuming anythig that asks for money to get money is not as good deal.

excerpt from FTC CONSUMER ALERT
A Dozen Ways to Protect Yourself
The next time you get a "personal" letter or telephone call telling you "it’s your lucky day," the Federal Trade Commission encourages you to remember that:

1. Legitimate sweepstakes don’t require you to pay or buy something to enter or improve your chances of winning, or to pay "taxes" or "shipping and handling charges" to get your prize.


If you have to pay to receive your "prize," it’s not a prize at all

i hate this stupid texts

Have not actually tried to call the number mentioned in the text, although obviously looks like a scam. Anyway, I've got the exact aforementioned text message. Cheers
