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>)

    Today I got the same message... and I live in Jamaica. I'm from Barbados, but it was my Jamaican cellphone that they sent the text to, and they included a UK cellphone number to contact. I was sure it was scam so did nothing about it, and googled rediffmail.com to make sure. Good thing I came across this site. Hackers are taking scamming to new levels worldwide.
