Reads as follows:

 

From NOKIA UK

 

Congratulation! Your mobile number has won (GPB)215,000 pounds in the ongoing nokia mobile promo. info call 0044xxxxxxxx & email NOKIA . MOBILE @ LONDON. COM

 

Ok - lets look at the evidence; Firstly, I bought my phone here it has no english connections apart from some of the phone calls i've made, secondly, Congratulation - should be Congratulations, thirdly, if your going to scam at least get a better looking email address...  @london.com !! All UK addresses are .co.uk and what ISP is @london ?

 

So be aware people...Generally stick to this rule... if it looks too good to be true then it is too good to be true.

I received the same sms from the same source but it said British pound 100,000/- .   

 

I ignore and delete such messages immediately.
