-ow this is very common sometimes they will include a regristration number or some @#$% and you may have to contact a certain ATTY.
-well if its legitimate they should have called you in the first place. coz it did happend to my Mom when she received a phone call stating that she won a 3310 cellphone, (that was I think 7 or 8 years ago). And its true she did won a cellphone from a raffle promo from a certain Gas station along Mindanao Ave.

-ow just to add beware also of an email scam that stating that you won a lottery, they will ask for a contact number and they will indeed contact you from abroad. The catch here is they will ask you to tranfer a certain amount as a payment for tax to a UK bank account. Also they will even provide you a bogus UK bang account.
-Now question how about if they just deduct the said tax from the price money?

To which my response is: "Why not?" because i'd rather have peace of mind? i subscribe to sir Arci's "if it's too good to be true...." |

but why is it that sometimes, when a thing is too bad to be true, its usually true? LOL! (joke!) gadgets, text that number and tell her that she won a memorial lot in eternal gardens baesa...non-transferable...and she has to avail of it within one week...no extensions..otherwise you will bury her in there alive. ;D |

@lamok Hahahahaha! good one. ;D i just ignore those text messages whenever i get them. i've had them several times, one time i replied and said "do you think i was born yesterday?!". i don't know how the mofo did it but my phone's serial # was blocked after that. my number wasn't blocked but the serial # was. i upgraded my phone's software before the incident so the serial was a generic one.  |
