-
Is this a million dollars money drop or another cheating scam?
Just received the below message yesterday.
“Your mobile no. has won you GBP 700,000 in ongoing CNN international mobile draw in UK. To claim email your details to Rev. Philip via ----------@w.cn”
What would you do upon receiving such message?

Very very obvious it's a scam. How obvious more you want it to be? Maybe the person come to your house and wear a "i'm a scammer" t-shirt?
-
You are right.
Thanks for sharing.
But why some Singaporeans still fall into their trap?
-
people who fall into their trap usually greed or desperate... when you're desperate, you're willing to believe anything...
-
Would you alert your family and friends about such cheating scam?

-
TS is right, there are indeed people who have fallen into such scams... don't be surprise... if they did not made money, such scams wouldn't last this long...

Thank you for the sound advice. We shall and must not give them the impression that we (Singaporeans) are easy target. -
