Hi, I just received a text message saying "Congratulations!!! Your number has won you (GBP)350, 000 pounds in the ongoing NOKIA UK PROMO for claims call:+447031920861 or Email:[email protected]"
so please I need an answer from NOKIA regarding this message.My phon...

I HAVE A NOKIA N85 AND IT IS STILL ON WARRANTY. FROM THE TIME I HAVE IT IT IS NOW GONE THE THIRD TIME FOR REPAIRS TO THE AGENTS . PROBLEM WITH SPEAKER, RECPTION, POWER CUTTING OFF ETC. I WANT ANOTHER BRAND NEW BETTER PHONE BEFORE IT GOES IN AGAIN ANDI AM LEFT WITHOUT A PHONE.

I/we received (and responded) to this, following an SMS alert to my girlfriend's phone, and it has resulted in (as expected) great disappointment to her, in serious need of money/luck:

Having seen many similar earlier complaints, I would like to know what the 'real' Nokia is doing to stamp on fraud alerts.

Thank you

I have received an SMS message informing me that I have won £100k and all I have to do is email quoting NK417, to what looks like a genuine email address, to claim a prize. The message was sent from a call centre in Pakistan. Should Nokia be sending out a warning or congratulaions. I notice that there are others who are concerned about these messages.
