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.  


Below is the email I received today asking for my personal details: The eamil address on the email is (Promo World<worldpromo@ymail.com>)

    I received the same ignominious phone message last night ( UK world promo award). I hope no one will fall for it. I've tried to report it to the relevant anti-scam govt department, but when I saw the amount of detailed info that i have to input just to report the damn thing I closed the page. Why should it be difficult to report a scam...? Grrrrr.

    I just got one of these today. Nearly identical, saying I have won 900 GB Pounds. From number: 00353863687033, World Mobile Promotions, and saying I should e-mail world_mobilepromotionsinc@mail.com.
    I'm wondering where they stole or bought my number from. The last thing with my details that made me suspicious was a download of Microsoft Office 2010 from their website. Their disclaimer was not comforting.
    Anyone else have any ideas?
