Friends, From last few days so many of my blog readers are asking same question that: MSN MOBILE AWARD: Is this fake or real?
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ??
I have not heard about any such award and no information has been posted on MSN official website also.
I have gone thru all the emails which those have received and after analysis, I am 100% sure that this is a online scam and fraud. PLS DO NOT GET TRAPPED IN THIS.
First of all you will received an SMS on your mobile number
from any of the numbers+919990423906 or
+91
9431072312. There may be few more numbers but I have found only these 2 numbers till the time.
That SMS will be like this: "CONGRATS!!You are the winner of 500,000Pounds in the MSN-MOBILE INT'L AWARD, For Claim Contact MR JAMES Via Email:"
If you send an email to email id
you will get a reply with in 24 hours from email id . In this email, they will ask you to send another email on with the following details:
ONE WORLD EXPRESS COURIER COMPANY.
Contact Person Mr. Charles Emperor (dispatch officer)
ADDRESS:9, Arkwright Road Colnbrook, Slough. UK
Email:
(Tel No: +44-1033 )
(PLEASE CALL FOR CONFIRMATION)
After 24 hours, you will get reply from
& will ask you first to transfer money to there ICICI account first. If you call them on the numbers as mentioned on the mail, that guy will also ask you to transfer money into his ICICI bank account then he will send the parcel.
THIS IS CLEARLY AN ONLINE SCAM. PLS DO NOT GET TRAPPED.

Dear Amarjit,
Thanks for spreading the word on such misleading messages. There are many people who are sending misleading messages to customers of various Banks stating that funds need to be credited to their account with respect to some lottery / inheritance/ job offers / international funds transfer. We urge customers not to react such messages. Thank you again.
Regards,
ICICI Bank Customer Service Team.
