    Bottom line: if you have not entered any competition, you will not win anything. Why answer those SMS's or emails if you know its a scam?

    another Fifa award scam

    Sms was from 0795597378 and replies to 0739886284 or fax 0865107119 with Mr Newton as contact person.
    Where is RICA in all of this BS. Law abiding citizens get the third degree and these scammers are free to do as they please.
    Does anyone know what's done with the information they get?

    Hi Blurock;
    As an individual I agree, this response is a decision to be made, However, with RICA type of laws in place, there should be success stories and mobile operators wanting to address criminal activity which is active on Their networks
    You are very right but the perspective of Corporate responsibility (mobile operators) and Law Enforcement are Strategic to resolving this BS
    Law abiding citizens rely on laws and law enforcement to protect us against this.

    Just my view!

    There is no law.... Sorry, I take it back. What I meant is law is not always effectively enforced due to incompetent or lazy people.

    We can not always rely on the law to protect us, so be vigilant and do not fall for any scams.

    All the major banks have warnings about phishing and other scams on their internet banking site, yet some people are still gullible enough to fall for this BS. They then want to sue the banks for not protecting them!?
    Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...
