27/9/2010 I got this SMS:
Congratulations!!! You won £ 500,000 (Five Hundred Thousend Pounds) Your number was selected among the lucky winners of the Uk Virgin mobile Lottery Bonanza. Ticket No: 4040 Batch 77777. Contact the Sadc claims officer on this number: +27721081549 to claim your prize. Contact Mrs Diane Walters.
(After contacting her she wanted my Banking Details ASAP. Once I asked for a proof of winnings I had to e-mail my e-mail address. NOTHING HAPPENED. Just another SCAM!!!)
Hi, I also received a sms at 5am, kindly see message below,
Came from 0793809277
call our sadc agent; Mrs Walters on: +27721081549 for more info your mobile number won our bonanza (virgin mobile) pin no:...amount won:500,000.00
I phoned her and the same happend to me, I had to give her information as to how I want the money paid. I phoned a virgin mobile shop in Athlone and they advised not to give any personal info to Mrs Walters. I phoned her back and was told that I was a winner and how do I want the money paid via EFT or cheque? I said cheque then she wanted by postal details. I didn't phone her back. I needed to investigate and find out what is going on. Thanks to this site, I now got my answer. Is there any way that anyone can trace these people and also the people whom is supplies them with our phone numbers? How can we STOP this kind of scams?????
Can anyone out there give advise as to get these people behind bars where they belong!!
Thanks again for this posting, it is much appreciated.
