SMS Scam strikes again!

I was working late in the afternoon when i received an SMS message from an un-registered user. Informing me that i won 100,000 pesos. the actual message as follows:

“PCCNS Company informing you that ur CELFONE# had w0n 100,000.00 last Jan21, 09. DTI#4312 series of 2009. Just txt ur name, age & address then call us, im MARK TAN”

If i really had won this amount, why would a company giving away 100,000 pesos want me to call them? How can they afford to give away 100,000.00 when they can’t afford to give a call instead?kinda stupid.. *sigh*

To all people out there… Beware of text messages informing you that you’ve won a prize. In case you want to take the bait, make sure you don’t spend a thing before the prize even reaches you. Don’t be a victim!
