Received SMS saying: “Congratulations! Your mobile number has been randomly picked in NOKIA yearly promo. You have won R950,000-00 Ref no: NK265 contact 0789107611 for claims”.
I phoned and guess who answered the phone? Sandra Atkins. I think it is time that Nokia and the service providers should establish a service where these hooligans can be traced and brouhgt to justice.

Hi. I got an sms from people who said are of Nokia and said I’ve won a BMW X6 and gave a ref. no and an email: rica.za@safrica. Their e-mail is not working. They didn’s say what should I do to claim this prize.

I also received an sms stating that I have won R165.000 and firstly I need to get a voucher for not
less than R100.00 then call Thandiwe back on 0719881379 with the voucher no. Another scam to get free air time. I thought with RICA one is protected from scam like this…..

Ive received the following sms:
Congratulations! Your phone has won R250 000.00 and BLACKBERRY from N.T.UK promo 2012 with Ref. No ###. For Claim, call George at 079 574 2668.

I called him up – and he said this is ligit…from Transmission Network – and took my number off the Rica Database…I must do the following: Buy airtime for R220, sms my name & surname, PO box number, and recharge pin number to the number provided, they post me a cheque (i had the option of account nr or cheque)..to my PO Box.

Is THIS LIGIT??

Got all that and more. Made the biggest mistake. Got the air time, paid the transfer fees, insurance fees and tax clearance……. Mrs Botha got me as well. What do I do now?

I also receivied a sms this morning that I have won R150 000.00 in the 2012 nokia yearly promotion, at first I was schocked, I never won anything in my life. My mistake is I have sent through my details before I red the scam complains, I phoned the person back and told him I was unemployed for a year now and I am not sure if te account is working still.I have received a sms back that I must pay R2 .850.00 for transfer cost. Please people do not make the same mistake I did, I am very worried now, why do they need your banking details, can they get access to your bank account, do they have all your information allready, and access will be easy. Hopefully the people at the bank are more clued up to regonice a scam like this.

WHY DOES NOKIA DO NOTHING ABOUT THESE SCAMS? THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO CALL BACK ARE REAL PEOPLE AND THE POLICE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ARREST THEM
