Nokia Yearly Promotion SMS Scam

I received an sms in the early hours of this morning stating that i had won the sum of R295,000 in the Nokia Yearly Promotion. They gave me a ticket number NYP291 and said have to contact Christopher on 078 8769375 and i have to make sure i activate my ticket so they could do the transfer. Luckily, my instincts raised the RED FLAG, that this was to good to be true, so i googled it up to find that it was indeed a scam. What i’d like to know is how this people know that we are using Nokia phones and how are they getting our numbers?
