Viber Scam

Yesterday I received a Viber call from 111 telling me I won 200,00 riyals from Ooredoo promotion and all I needed to do was take out my SIM, write down the numbers, then call 8997401002 to collect my prize.

As soon as I asked if they were calling from Ooredoo, why would they be calling on Viber? All I heard then was "Click". They hung up. Please do not fall prey for these scams.
