    I just received the following as a text message:

    Your phone last day has WON!
    Visit [URL] paste your code 4995
    to ask Bonus within 24H

    This all sounds totally legit. I hope I've won a major award.[^] Is it too much to ask for scammers to not use broken English? Come on guys, I'm willing to be ripped off here, but you've got to meet me half way.

    Play my game Gravity: IOS[^], Android[^], Windows Phone 7[^]

      Yeah, I got that same message. I answered it and they sent me a brand new Cadillac CTS. I'm really upset because they didn't let me pick the color. WTE kinda outfit gives you a new $45K car but doesn't let you pick the color? I'd avoid them.

          It's a deliberate ploy - it weeds out the ones who are too bright to fall for the scam, making the scammer's subsequent work more productive: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/security/the-truth-behind-those-nigerian-419-scammers/8158[^]

          If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

            That is exactly how I award the prizes for 185 (at least, before voting was banished).
