I received a text for 850,000 UKP on 12th Feb but have not seen a penny, yet. How long does it take?:illogical:D

I wonder if it came from the same place? The number my text came from is 19172680285.

I have quit my job and have $500,000 worth of goods on my credit card already, so hopefully the money is not too far away.

Is this a new way of scamming new idiots - I mean, customers? I imagine that you have to pay "administration costs" or something similar before the money is released to you. How silly can you get? Still, I suppose there are some people out there who have not heard of similar schemes, so I imagine they will snare a few.

Oh well, it was a nice dream.:waughh:

That number doesn't look right as there is no zero in front of it. If the 1 is the country code then it is from the USA or some of the islands like the Virgin Islands. Mine was 0060 which is Malaysia.

So "APPLE IPHONE UK PROMO" has nothing to do with Apple? They are pretending to be Apple, and if they wanted to be a bit convincing they wouldn't use a Microsoft address.
