The text in the SMS says " Congrats!. Your Mobile# has won £980.000 in the ongoing Coca-Cola Int`l Mobile Draw. To reedem, send your Name, Mobile # and E-mail adress to: mycocagb@live.com " . A friend of mine decided to "play the game" and see what the scam is all about. After you send an e-mail back to them, they once again congratulate you and ask you for your bank account number. After you give your bank account number they will send you an e-mail asking you to pay 450 pounds for "taxation". I know that most of us are well informed to recognize this kind of scam, but just in case I`m sending this warning.
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.
