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.  


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

    Hi that message was sent from my webtext account which was hacked into by someone I don't know, this is obviously a scam, don't bother calling me as it will cost you lots of money - I am in Ireland.

      I have gotten this message on my mobile congratulating me on my winnings ,i have no money so if to redeem the winnings it will take funds will i will not be able to claim.
      i am just a poor person in the lord.
      if you sent this to my phone claiming to say i have won somthing ,them it will not be any trouble to send money to the western union for me to collect all you require is my nickname as above ,youer information as the sender and my contact # ( you already know) for verification for when i go to claim the money ,it would do me great right now.
      I am all the way in Jamaica.
