Nokia Yearly Promo SMS Saying Congrats

Nokia Yearly Promo SMS Saying Congrats 3/5 (60%) 2 votes

I just got an sms saying: “Congratulations your No.is Amoung Lucky Winner u Won R250,000.From Nokia Yearly Promo. With Ticket No.0277p Call Miss Memory Dube For Your Cash Price 0732940369″ -First of all, i typed this exactly as it is on my phone, so the english raised a huge flag in my opinion as Nokia is a world wide company and know how to spell and use grammer. Secondly, i have a blackberry… why would Nokia give my R250,000 when i don’t support them… and lastly, if anyone would have my number, it’d be Vodacom or MTN etc… Not Nokia!

I received the sms saying i won R25 000 in Nokia yearly promotions. I called the number and they told me to buy R275 vodacom airtime. I told the lady but why vodacom when im using mtn sim card. she told me its to activate my prize money. I asked so many questions which she could hardly give me a proper and clear answer. This peolpe just know how to scam people and there are people in this world that would really need that kind of money and buy the airtime to activate their price money.

Since when do a person just receive an sms to say that you’ve won so much money without the company contacting you directly on your cell number so that you can be certain that you did win and its not a scam. Everybody is trying to make a living in this country and i trully hope these people will be cuaght sooner or later and go to jail for what they do. Hope everybody is carefull and dont fall for these tipe of things.

For those who are falling for it, Nokia (or any other world wide company for that matter) would never ask you to send them money in order to recieve a prize. Don’t be stupid people… Report their number so they can be caught :)

    Pliz be alerted, these are scammers trying to still your money, one of these thieves sending scam messagers that you are a lucky winner is from nigeria, pliz dont exchange your bank details with thieves, the messages are not from nokia, pliz ignore them or report the numbers and email eddresses the scammers are using

  3. 30 Dec 2011. I just receive a SMS from cell number 0726391516 informing me of a R250 000.00 win with ticket number 0166P. I should call 0720411159 to claim. When I phone an African man said I should purchase R275 airtime and sms this back with my postal details for activating my number and posting of cheque for this value. Please be careful as if I did not google this I would not have been aware of this scam.

  4. Truely these are scammers from Nigeria. I have hust spoken to one of them by Mrs N Becky. I got an sms saying I have just won R175 000.00. The sms was sent with 0725384549 and the number to dail to confirm my prize wis 0710370240. Firtly I gooogled about this promotion just to check how true this is. To my surprise I found that lot of people are complaing and they have received exactly the same sms. The lady told me exactly what I got the the internet and I told her that they are a scam and I am aware about that, damn she was so rude and dropped the phone on my ear. I tried the number again and it was off. Guys be alert of these scammers…..

  5. I received the same Nokia Yearly Promo saying I have won R175 000 ticket no 5822K, call Mrs Thando 078 973 6713 for my prize. In SA we RICA our phones. why is Nokia not using this opportunity to apprehend these people by obtaining the legal documents in court and use RICA to obtain information about them. They are using Nokia’s brand name to scam and that’s illegal. Nokia use your resources and save the nation

  6. I have just receive an sms stating “Congratulations! Your sim has made you a winner in the Nokia Pomo, contact our agent on 078 058 0162 with ref No. 16NP and claim your prize R95 000.00. I couldn’t help but think it could be a scam as I have a Blackberry and i never get that lucky and I’ve have this sim forever so why only now. So before even wasting my money on a phone call I did some research on the internet and found it was a scam, suprise surprise!! Can’t the authorities trace the number and lock these people up for good, really it can’t be that hard!!

  7. I just received this message From: 0738319445 MR JOE,2nd time now. Date:25 07 2012 Time: 03;55;17 Congratulation, you have won R185000 in the Nokia Yearly Promo, Ref No 0029NKP contact 0738319445 for ur claim they really think they can fool people with this. I did not reply,
