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>)

    WARNING PEOPLE....PLEASE UNDERSTAND,
    There is NO SUCH THING as a legitimate lottery or promotion which automatically enters your mobile number in a draw WITHOUT your knowledge. If anyone believes that there are companies in this world who randomly choose strangers to give thousands of dollars to for NO REASON, they are crazy!
    This sort of scam is designed by idiots FOR IDIOTS. Do not become one!
