Received sms on 4th of May 2008 Sunday afternoon that I won 80, 000.00 in a Nokia Promo sweepstakes and my ticket number is ... and I should call 447045710887 or email the ticket number to [email protected]. Must say I was thrilled for a moment until I realized I never entered any contest so I called the number and ofcourse logically the telephone number was not in service for the moment anyway people are just too bored with their lives and complete idiots to think that scamming is better than making an honest living. So, just a note to all people beware and don't get over excited about this sms even though some financial ease would be great!!! To the scammers get A LIFE!!!

Be aware people. I got an sms saying Your mobile number has won 25, 000 GBP in the ongoing NOKIA promo. For claims call Nokia Promos UK Center now: +44703193745 or email [email protected]. I called and they didn't seem serious to me, they just told me to send them an email with my name anf full postal address. Come on, if it was Nokia the address wouldn't be yahoo.co.uk, but nokia.com. Also the phone wouldn't be a mobile number but a land line. Please be aware!!!

In Nov'07 I have received an e-mail from Nokia Cash Officer, UK, named Mr. James Kelvin, which states that I am among 10 who were listed as winner of 500,000 GBP, and asked to contact either by e-mail : [email protected] or phone number: +447031956630. Afterwards I received an e-mail from the same person to send my personal details and mode of prize collection (either by cheque or bank transfer). I have responded to that mail with personal details. Soon after that, received another mail saying the prize cheque and certificate were shipped to my address through courier company called "World CourierDelivery" and asked to contact the courier company to followup the delivery of my parcel and pay the courier service charges (charges are not mentioned in mail). Accordingly I have sent another mail to courier company with the e-mail id provided by Mr.James Kelvin, asking for the delivery date of courier. I had lots of hope about this prize, but today I come to know that this is a fraud promotion in the name of Nokia, through this web site, where others have written their experiences.

Is this fraud promotion is done by Nokia (UK) company ?, if so this is very shame full activity. If not, then Nokia company should take legal action to stop this activity.

Mr. James Kelvin (fraud) also claims that this promo is approved by British Gaming Board and also licensed by International Association of Gaming Regulation (IAGR). Is it true ?, Is there any such kind of board and regulating authority exists in UK ?, if yes they are the stupid people in this world.
