It is a fake and a SCAM ... ... i just received the same message from "winner@nokia.co.uk" in form of MMS on my cell phone... downloading the MMS results in the following message:
*****************
NOKIA end of year promo, Please send your serial number for confirmation of your 1,000,000 Brittain Pound, To claim your prize, email your;
Full Names,
Full Address, Email address, Occupation, Date of birth, Sex, Cell Phone number: (nokiadepartment1@hotmail.co.uk) Call: +44-704-577-9030
*****************
I have seen so much scam over the Internet that looking at this info tells you that its a fake:
1. Firstly, why would someone at Nokia need a hotmail email address????
2. Why would any company in the UK want to give a Pakistani any money, lottery, fund transfer, exchange of information in dire needs etc when there are plenty of people in the UK who better deserve this money (Apnay log chor k hamara khayal kisi ko kyun aana hai bhaee)
3. UK based companies do not need to write their number as "Call: +44.....".... They would always write "For Questions / Complaints please dial xxxxxx) "They would never use the word "Call" ... this is purely Pakistani tradition.
4. In foreign countries, one of your most important and personal information is your "date of birth" and "email address", which is used to be sold to frauds and scams so that they can hack your credit cards / emails etc. Lastly, if they fail in doing this, they simply sell your info to companies who use scam for their marketing, and eventually, your email inbox will be bombarded with spam emails and further scams...
Hope this helps!
