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>)

    I got mine today: 25th June 2012. The message was:

    Your Mobile number won £450,000GBP in WORLD MOBILE PROMO. Contact Mr. Allan with your Full Names, Country to his Email: (wmpclaims@hotmail.com) & call: +447961005287

    This seems to be going on since 2011! How on earth did they manage to get my mobile phone number and texted to me at 3:00am? These criminal scammers should be hunted down and locked in jail.

    I've got the same message as well and they said my mobile number won 450,000 pounds and they gave me the e_mail and phone number and asked me to contact MR. Allan.... Its a crap I guess, I googled the company as well and reached here... Anyway, I won't give them my details as it seems they are not trustable...
