Hi fellow "grand prize" winners,
$$$$$$$$ PLEASE POST A REPLY IF YOU ALSO RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I am also one of 23(000,000,000) who received this text message.
"You have won 415,000.00 GBP, contact, ect. . ." something about the 2nd draw, from the first prize, and that sort of nonsense.
Just sent my contact info today. . . Should of checked this out first. . .
What's this business about them wanting money to release the prize ?
They have not hit me up for anything yet. This should be entertaining.
Also looked @ ####. . .
LOL . . . :womanindifferent:
"If it is too good to be true, it usually is. . ."
- Not sure who said that. . . ? Someone said it before me though !

I can't decide whether the above spammer is incredibly daft or clever to post in a thread warning of spammers!

why do you think you'd win a competition you never entered?
