    Just got a text from an English number: +447557374348 saying my number has been selected as the winner of £750,000 in Sky Mobile raffle 2014, and gave a reference number. E-mail address is fiduciaryagent@skymobileraffle.com. Genuine? Nah!

    Some poor bastard probably did win some prize like that but was too scared to claim it because of all these scams.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,081 ✭✭✭Comer1


    I'm not going to cancel flights yet, I still have hope. This money couldn't have come at a better time...if its genuine that is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭Rubberlegs

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,492 ✭✭✭Hoop66


    I hope you're taking the piss? Of course it's a scam.

    Has anybody tried ringing the number to tell them to get fooked?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer

    Congrats


  • Registered Users Posts: 2 meehano


    I just got one of those as well. The funny thing is I never received any such messages EVER before but the only difference this time is I text to Childline this morning donating €4!!!! Hmmmm I wonder!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,520 ✭✭✭allibastor


    I received an email a few weeks back from Thailand I think. It was about my relative who dies there and left me money.

    I was quite upset about this as I didn't even know the man, I feel guilty now that we never connected seeing as how we are family and all. Now I get 2.5 Million GBP from him. I really feel guilty as he must have met and liked me before but I for the life of me cant even remember him.


    All I have to do now is send my bank details over and I can get my inheritance, but I need to pay the fees of 12K first.

    I think it is only right to honour my dead cousin from TAhiland

    Same here, and I haven't texted anyone in a long time so not Childline related.

    I thought you had genuinely won the money for a minute instead of it being another thread about spam or phish texts/mails.

    Silly me!
