Complaint
Henry D. Tynon
Country: United States
I've been advice to contact you on possible fraud contest concerning a text message received on 3 August 2011 from World Mobile Promo. The text message stated the following; “Your Mobile Number won 750,000 GBP in World Mobile Promo. Claim Code: WMP11. For claim email: worldpromo@ymail.com and call +447035938836.” I contacted them by email on the 15 August 2011 and have received numerous phone calls today to submit my personal details today. Due today to internet fraud, I would appreciated in knowing if this is a legitimate company I’m dealing with before sending my personal details.
