Hi i recieved an email today supposed to be from t-mobile saying i have won �500,000 in a draw, and has given me this number that has been drawn, would you think its a scam, i can copy and paste for someone to check for me if they could, or if anyone might know if it is. Thanks

[andrea81]

Did you enter a competition? If not I would say it was a scam!

[~spaced~]

post the number and I'll check it out, but I do think its a scam.

[zabo]

yer you won �500,000 but you have to send them a fee and might have to call frivolous numbers that might cost �2 or �3 per minute to collect the money. Sounds like a scam to me.

I should think for that sort of money they would be turning up at your house with a PR team, camera crew and some local hacks.

Scam.

If all the letters and text's I have received were genuine I would not be here I would be sunning myself in the Bahamas holiday that I won and on the yacht I had so called won. Then I have to sell all the cars I have won plus the large screen tv's and I just don't know how I am going to fit in all the holidays.
OF COURSE IT'S A SCAM IF YOU DIDN'T ENTER IT.

This is the email.

LOL

SCAM!!!!

the domain tm.co.uk they have used in the email address [email protected] at the top doesn't even exist!!

I didn't even bother reading past that!

[Davethedog]

Report it to Tmobile now.

You won't but lots of people may be scammed by this.

[ChuckFickens]

OK I did read past it.. just so you never get taken in by these things..

1 the email is [email protected].... try going to http://ww.tm.co.uk it doesn't exist

2 To: undisclosed-recipients ... Why? if you have won the money and you alone why hasn't it been sent to your email address and yours alone!

3 the contact email to send your details to is a @gmail.com address.... errrr T mobile don't use free, anonymous online email addresses!

4 just read it properly... does that look that an Email written by somebody that has English as their first language!

5 99.999% of offers you receive by email are a scam!!

you report to T mobile if you want, they will thank you and do nothing at all about it.

[tamirra]

Thank you peoples. x

[tamirra]

Hi again, can anyone please find me where i need to copy and paste this scam.

[ChuckFickens]

I'd email it to

[email protected]

that should be a guaranteed email address to get to somebody

As I said though, unlikely they can do anything about it as it almost certainly didn't originate from this country.
