HI!
I use an airtel sim card on my phone
I've received a SMS on 6th jan stating
!! URGENT! Your phone number has been selected for a $5000 prize guaranteed! to claim your prize call
43820956157.
the Message center is = 919840011055
The above SMS was also received by one of my family members using reliance connection stating to call to some other number for the Lottery prize.
here the message center was different.
After investigating a bit i found these numbers was of Montreal a city in Canada.
Can anyone find or see what is the exact SCAM about, and help other all who received such Pishing SMS.
CAN ANYONE PUT SOME LIGHT OVER IT
