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

Pitty there are so many scams out there today. My sister received a chain mail letter asking her to send a list of people 5cents with her details, and in return she will receive upto $1000 per week guarenteed! Lucky she listened to me before she sent the money (she was really going to send it).
Im so greatful to Google so we can check to see if these competitions are real or a scam.
Scamming little scum bags!!!!
