$1000 text spam SCAM

poohr

Text from 909-837-7761 received at half past midnight.

Your entry last month has WON! Go to BESTBUYWIN.NET enter your winning code 5555 to claim your free $1000 Best Buy gift card within 24 hours.

Any way, I used network solutions to find who owns the domain Best Buy Win Dot Net - guess what - they are protected by WhoisGuard - so THEIR information is never public and THEY are protected from spam. The public information of this web site is protected by WhoisGuard 661-310-2107 11400 W. Olympic Blvd. Suite 200, Los Angeles, CA 90064. That is the best I could do.

Verizon Wireless, please work with Best Buy, WhoisGuard et. al. and put an end to this. Please see Best Buy forum for other numbers being used:

One, ya 'won' something

Two, not Best Buys link.

Those two things would have me deleting the message

ALL four (4) of my family cell phones got this text as well; each with different "winning" numbers and links.

Did someone randomly get all of my numbers - or is there a leak at Verizon??? :-/

I just received a text from 619-823-8924 with the same SCAM content, using the website BestBuyContests.com.

DELETED.

It's called robotext just like robocalls. For example my area code is 731 now in my town all Verizon numbers start with 441. This information is public. So a spammer can easily get a program that auto texts every number from 0000-9999 and do it in minutes

I received a similar text today at about 6PM, Mine was from "Targetwinners.com" and a phone number of 612-749-0349.

There was a record of these calls on the web at http://www.scambook.com/company/view/94559/TargetWinnerscom.

I just deleted the Text!

I have rec'd test similar to the ones described here and I find the delete button is the best response.

Rather than wasting to much time on this, hit the delete button take your spouse out for a nice dinner and a movie. Makes for a MUCH more enjoyable evening.

I got two text messages similar to that one. I used the search function on this community to find the short code for SPAM (7726) set up by Verizon Wireless. Once I found it, I fowarded both messages to VZW and followed the additional instructions given.

I wouldn't mind so much but if you're not on a texting plan you gotta PAY 0.20 each for this dribble. Thank God I only get em once every other month or so. Just got one yesterday. Sigh.

Report it to Verizon Wireless as I wrote earlier in this discussion.
