i have received sms from this number saying my mobile No won R3000,000.00 on Power ball Mobile draw, that i must contac Mrs. Lydia..i guess is a scam.

My Dad have received sms from this number saying my mobile No won R3000,000.00 on Power ball Mobile draw, that i must contac Mrs. Lydia... Looks like a scam to me?

I had also received an sms from mrs. lydia utatu on the 17th claiming that I had won 3,000,000.00 rand. What's going on coz she even said that the money is not transferreble unless I pay 7 500.00 rand for the Coin Security Group for the insurance fee of the winning prize? I think this is a scam!!!

I received an sms on the night of 30 that I won 1,000,000,00 powerball draw in ZA from Mrs Lydia Utatu. Later on I received any email that I have to pay 4,599,95 for the money to be transfered. I asked if it is not possible to deducted from 1,000,000,00 but she say no. Ref No. Nam 26, Is there any truth on this or is it a SCAM

Its a worldwide scam known as Nigerian 419 and is a combined identity and money theft scam. They use famous names like Apple, Coca Cola, Nokia etc.  There is a warning about it on the Apple website and you can Google "Nigerian 419 Scam".  Did you get the e-mail after you replied to the sms? Hope you did not give them any personal info if you replied.

I think that is a SCAM because the  she also send me an sms that I won 1,000,000,00 but for me to get the amount transfered to my acount I have to pay 4,599,95. My question is why should one pay for the winning or draw, why cant they deduct from that amount won

there is no truth

I gave them my name and cell phone number and the bank detail of account i dont use, am I in the risk and what should I do to rectify this situation

i also recieved the same sms that i won 1,000,000,00 on the night of 24 may and said i must contact mrs lydia utatu with ref: MN24 when i wrote her an email she sent me the claim form thet i must claim, but when i asked mtc if there is any competition like this they said no they just want to reap you off then i did not send the form and last night i recieved the same message but the ref is now 264 what is this?

yes it's a scam. they sometimes call your phone too. look out for African sounding accents. these people have been ripping off individuals world wide.

beware of any Power Ball mobile promotion texts you may get. Someone with the name Miller and a yahoo address is sending texts saying that you've won 1,000,000 GBP and asking you to email him your addess and contact information to a yahoo account (I believe the one they sent to me was miller8@yahoo.com).

People, don't let money make you excited to send your personal information to strangers. IT IS A SCAM and it's not the first time they have tried to get me. they can be persistent by even trying to call (usually persons with African accent). Be careful.

i received a sms from mr thomas cell no 0722264791 e-mail rbza@accountant.com that i have won R1000000.00 .he claim his adress is 155 smit street jhburg.
is this regit or is it a hoax.
