Text message: "Your latest entry into our contest has made you a winner! Goto http://bit.ly/IXeU1o to claim your iPad, enter code 9877 to qualify. Claim before 4-29-12"
Yep I got that exact message on April 27 2012 at about 10 pm. So I came to search if it is a scam or legit. I laugh that they gave the same exact code for the iPad. They completely fail. Especially since they are in Ohio and I live in California
This fake winning an iPad is a way to input viruses and/or hack your computer. Do not enter the link for the website no matter how curious you are. It is a trap that will harm you.
Whoever been sending messages from this number is trying to scam people by claiming they won an iPad. The website they give each person is known to spread viruses and hack one's computer.
I got the same text at 7 AM. I'm in california too. Wonder where they got our numbers... Goes straight to voicemail. I texted them back telling them they're idiots.
