It's obviously false, a total scam.  Did you not read all of this thread before you posted on it?

19-01-2010 i receiverd sms from nokia.in sms wrote that my cell number has just won me 250.000.000 pounds in the NOKIA PROMO in UK.could you tell me what is happen?

[ta_14_gu]

I've read the thread, but nobody mentioned that they received mail from nokiauk@europe.com. they say that I've won the sum of Ј800,000 GBP in cash credited to a file in the just concluded NOKIA PROMO. and for more information I should contact claims agent. details were given below: (Dr.Kent Greene and tel). what should I do? just ignore that? thanks in advance for an answer

[psychomania]

Ignore it, it's plain obvious from the email address, the way in that they've contacted you and the wording that it's a scam.

Hi everyone,

the latest target apparently is Kazakhstan. This time the price is 430 000 GBP and the e-mail address - info@nokiapromo.in  . These guys are so lazy or ignorant - they are sending the same message to every one. My mobile number is almost the same as my wife's - just one digit fifference and guess what - we  "won"  430 000 GBP each. The only problem is we got the same "reference" number - M105B...

The number we are supposed to call is +447024079836.  I guess there is a way to track these buggers - why does not Nokia as a company go for it?

[psychomania]

Nokia as a company cannot do anything to stop this, just like the banks can't stop the phishing emails that have been around for years. Nokia cannot track the messages, only the networks in various countries can do that.

Scams like these are often run by criminals that know how to stay ahead of the law or operate from countries that do nothing to stop scams of this nature so tracking them is pointless in most cases.

As with any form of "prize winning" communication people need to deal with messages like that with common sense. It's when common sense fails is when the scammers get rich.

[psychomania]

Perhaps you should have read the thread before posting on it. If you had you would see that it's an obvious scam.

Delete it, forget about it.

[vvaino]

And if this mr. Allen gives you money for nothing, be happy...

Hi there,

I also received an SMS on my Greek mobile from a south African number, that I won.... that many British Pounds and I could claim the prize from this email: claims(at)nokiapromo.co.cc, or call a British number...

Please answer, if you know, how can they use this email and what is: co.cc stands for.

Thanks in advance,

and take care.

[hadimassa]

Maybe you won a trip to the Cocosislands (cc). Just delete the message. It's not genuine.

[amsofficer]

The Nokia.promo101@cash4u.com is a scam, the sender sent you below ( or similar ) once you reply.. It tracks your personal detail and bank account etc, Should Nokia itself do something to stop it??????????

If law enforcement and governments are unable to stop scams like this what exactly do you think Nokia could do to stop it??????

It's one of those things that can rarely be stopped and designed to steal from the stupid people that believe everything they read. The best way to stop scams like this is for people to be better educated in the dangers of the internet.
