    i had one a couple of days ago, but it was only 500,000 usd.

    also a uk hotmail address.

    they must be collecting e-mail addresses from those who reply.

    Bugger me. I got almost the same thing on mine yesterday:

    APPLE iPHONE AWARD 2013 your cell phone number has won 750,000 pounds. For info email name and cell number to:
    iphoneawardcenter@gmail.com


    Weird. Email spam is essentially free - but sms scams surely cost money to send??

    That's nothing my mates wife paid 300,000 for a safe with 4 million US dollar inside, but the Thai guy needed the 300,000 baht to get the safe out of hok, and its full of dirty money as she saw him pull out a few notes and wash them, he has the key but she has the safe. He needs another 30k to buy the chemical to wash the money.
    The greed and stupidy of theses people is foking amazing.
    My mate doesn't really care except she borrowed the 300k against the new car he bought her

    My mate checked his wife's phone when a SMS came in. It said.......

    " Loved it yesterday when you sucked my cock. "

    Written by his work mate.

    She walked the next day and now lives with his work mate.

    True story.

    20 years together they where.

    That gives new meaning to the words, "work mate." Is your work mates, mate, mating his work mates wife still?

    Wouldn't you help out your work mate in those circumstances? Go on days when he's on nights. Fuck your buddy week down at the old firehouse it appears.

    They will, as Rigger mentioned, ask you to pay to get the reward


    Text Messaging Scam: FreeLotto Corporation | FreeLotto UK Mobile | FreeLotto Mobile Promotion | FreeLotto Bonanza

    For more information, please visit FreeLotto’s Fraud Alert page at Fraud & Scam Alert | FreeLotto

    The FreeLotto customer care team has been receiving many inquiries concerning win notifications that are sent by mobile or SMS messages. FreeLotto notifies it’s winners via email or courier package.

    An example of one of these scam message reads something like this:
    CONGRATS! YOUR MOBILE NUMBER HAS WON FOR YOU $2,000,000 USD IN THE FREELOTTO MOBILE PROMO. FOR CLAIMS, SEND MAIL: freelottoagent72@aol.co.uk

    Other examples can be found on the Fraud Alert section of our website at Fraud & Scam Alert | FreeLotto (Examples 7 & 14).

    Often, these scam phone messages like the FreeLotto UK mobile scam, will reference FreeLotto or other legitimate companies or lottery organizations. They have also deceptively used the name FreeLotto Corporation or FreeLotto Mobile Award. These messages claim that the recipient has won a cash prize and that they must provide their personal information to receive it. Once the recipient has provided that information, the person or organization sending the message will request a money order or cash wire transfer so that they can process the win. After receiving the money, they will invent another reason why the prize cannot be released until an additional fee is paid. This will continue until the alleged prize winner realizes that they are being scammed or, unfortunately, until they run out of money.

    Please be advised that FreeLotto will never request money to claim a prize and we will never ask for personal information through an unsolicited message. If you receive one of these messages, do not respond. These messages are simply intended to scam the recipients into giving them money, or in some cases, personal financial information used to steal their identity. The sender of the message never intends to give out a prize. The prize is simply bait used to lure the potential victim in.

    These messages are called Advance Fee Lottery Scams and are not new. They can be sent by email, postal mail, fax, social networking and phone messages. Often times, they will even use logos from real companies or lottery organizations to appear legitimate. They will either claim that the person has won a large sum of money or valuable prizes, such as televisions or cars.

    If you have received one of these messages and are unsure whether it is fraudulent, please forward it to answers@freelotto.com and our customer care team will review it for legitimacy.

    Na, happened in East Fremantle in a million dollar Gaff.

    The dudes at work and his work mate would pop around and drive a hard one up his missus.

    Been going on for 6 months before he busted her. Poor bastard was devastated.

    That's life innit. Move on.

    No mate of mine, just an acquaintance. Happens every day innit.
