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 one on my mobile today 9/10/11 from Ireland (pretty sure).  Only offered GBP750,000 as well. The number I received it from was 00 353 86 8841 1426, which when I looked it up was an O2 Ireland mobile# (086).  Is that even a Nokia subsidiary?  Either way, no details for them!!!  Cheers for the info, ever it may flow!

    Just got the same message this morning.

    First thing I did was google "World Mobile Promo" and discovered this site and confirmation that it was indeed a scam.

    I am sure there are some people who will respond to these [***] and give out their details.
