Text Messag Earlier Today.

[Caran]

From Morrisons saying I had won third prize in their Christmas competition.
I had won a stores gift card worth £1000. I had to respond to the message so I did it on line as not good doing things on mobile. Very rarely use it.
I had o complete a small survey,
They asked how I wanted to receive the card and I said by post.
The thing froze. I phoned Morrisons head office and they said it's a scam!!
What a bummer!!

[marval]

Oh, what a shame Caran.

I hate those scammers.

[Sam1960]

Sorry to hear that Caran, hope you never gave away any personal details whilst on line.

[Buenchico]

Sounds like a new twist on an old scam. This is from 2010:

If it's sounds to good to be true, then it is.

[Georgiesmum]

Sorry to hear they are doing this now, rotten devils. If they had said this to me alarm bells would have rung straight away as I would have known I hadnt entered any competition of theirs. Hope you didnt give them too much of your personal details in the survey.

I got an email last week from seemingly from Caboodle telling me i had won a £10 book token in their recent mystery books comp. Now correct me if i'm wrong, but in order to enter, you have to get all 20 books correct before submitting your attempt. I only got around to solving a handful before saving the answers intending to revisit later - which i did not do. The email (which really did look genuine) asked me to click on a link and that's something i never do with emails. If i've lost the book token - so be it. Rather that than get scammed.

[naomi24]

I presume you had actually entered the competition which would indicate that the scammer was aware of that.

[Old_Geezer]

Unsurprised. How would Morrisons get your mobile number ? And even if you had given them it, why wpild they contact you via text ? But if you went to Morrisons' website how come they were holding a survey ? Don't tell us you used a link in the text message, please.

[Peter Pedant]

the answers removed werent from Norrisons operatives telling you are a silly old cow ?

[Times rpt saturday: someone complained tehre was a fly in their soup - a mozzie and a
tesco rep ( quite an entomologist he boasted) replied it clearly wasnt a mozzie but simulium]

I don't believe text messages are Moderated

[New Judge]

Your success is nothing to write home about.

I've recently learned that I've inherited £25,000 from a relative I never knew I had in Nigeria. All I've had to do is pay them a £600 "release fee" and give them my bank details so they can transfer the dosh to me. Sounds like a good deal to me, £24,400 clear profit for just five minutes of my time. Can't wait! :-)

[TonyV]

Lol NJ got a call this morning offering loads of money from missold pip

[gingejbee]

How do you all get these scam calls/texts etc? I never get any and am feeling left out! Is it something I've done, or (more probably) something I've NOT done?
