thanks

Answer 1

Yes... i recieved the same thing saying I was the second draw in the first pic making me a grand prize winner.  They have not asked me for any personal information yet.. they have just stated that they will be sending me a check..  What about you?

Answer 2

yeah, i got this one too.  i just sent an email that says 'how are you sending me my money' and they want my name/phone number and all that.  let us know what happens after the next step if anyone tries it, cause im a little leary to.  this is the only site that i could find that mentions this whole fiasco

Answer 3

do you really think you won money???

this is a scam, a very old scam, just delete it and move on.

Answer 4

i got the exact email yesterday oct 1st and my GF got one today....

the only thing that put me off is that there is no disclosure link, with contest guide lines/ rules/regulations.

i think your right to try and contact orange mobile.

Answer 5

Hey I live in Winnipeg, and if this is an old scam, we all got it at the same time, if theres more then 32 of us its obvious, but i mean, I got the same text message, i got the same e-mail replys, i have not sent my ID and Phone Bill yet, but this morning I actually got a call from Mr. Owen Mason himself saying he replied to my message and for me to send my information a.s.a.p. Hes got a strong accent, think we actually won some bucks?

Answer 6

Alrighty, I am from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and I too received this text message. I am leary of even responding to the first email (asking for name, tel #, address, etc.)

You would think that if this were legit they would offer us some evidence that they are truly who they claim to be - I mean, they must be aware that our first reaction is that this is a scam. I don't know, company letterhead or something.

I just got off the phone with my cell carrier and they said that they are not a part of any promotion, and that it sounded like a scam to them. Once I mentioned that copies of bills were being asked for, the lady on the phone from my cell company exclaimed, 'Oh, don't give them that information!'

I'll check back later

Answer 7

I went through the process of sending them the email, got one back stating that they require my name, phone #, address, age, email and occupation.  I figured since they weren't asking for too much, I replied.  I then got an email back a few days later asking me to scan and email ID and my most recent billing papers.  As well as to go to Northumberland between Oct 1st and 19th to collect my funds and sign the registry and that if I  was not able to get there to contact a barrister there by the name of Owen Mason.  I sent them an email back wanting to know why they needed this.  So when I hear something back, I'll let you all know.

Answer 9

This is obviously a scam. They either want some money or they want enough information about you so they can steal you identity. With the information you supply they could do any number of things.
