i received an sms that said i have won a Toyota Yaris and i must call 0733582675 to claim the prize. The ID wasTABH 616. I did so. The person said I must call 0218394052 for payment of insurance and registering the car in my name so that they can deliver the car the next day.There I spoke to Juliet and said after paying into the said account holder above, I should fax the slip. I called to ask for fax no. and this time I talked to Yanda who sms me the following fax no's: 0867624039 and 021811799. I paid R1500. I feel I am robbed.
Do something about those people because they are tarnishing the name of your company. Throw them into jail
Please, tell me of any outcomes you may reach

When ever you receive an email or sms saying you have won something always Google it first because there are so many scams out there. So sorry you got caught.
It is unbelievable that we often still fall for these scams. I have just been notified as well (MY LUCKY DAY) that I have won a Toyota Yaris SIM card mobile promo. I was asked to cal Mr Lee (warning lights!!!) on 0748906370 ref no 113TY.
IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER EVER FALL FOR THESE SCAMS.....................check with the company concerned.
