2008 Shell International Mobile Draws

Dear Customers,



Please be advised that there is currently a scam doing its rounds notifying people, either via e-mail or SMS, that they have won a lot of money through "Shell Awards" or "Shell Claims". We have advised our legal department of this scam and they are looking into the matter.



The SMS's that are being sent out are similar to this:
"You have won $3 Million US in the 2008 Shell International Mobile Draws. To claim this sum, call Lynda on +[protected] and e-mail [protected]@live.com"



The e-mails that are being sent look similar to this:





The SMS and e-mails may not necessarily communicate the same message all the time, yet what is usually consistent is that the communication comes from "Shell Awards" or Shell Claims".



We implore you to please be vigilant of fraudulent scams like this and we recommend that you:



* DO NOT respond to unsolicited business propositions and/or offers from people you are unfamiliar with;
* DO NOT disclose your personal/financial details to anyone you do not know.



If you receive such proposals, we would advise you to contact your local police and provide them with all information you may have from the senders (email addresses, phone details, etc.).



If ever in doubt, please Contact Us to verify that you are indeed a Shell contest winner.



Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.

Sir,

As mentioned above by many Indians, I also received an sms three days ago on my mobile which declared me as the winner of international mobile draw by certain shell petroleum organization and was directed to contact one Mr.Pedro via email and claim my prize. Upon emailing him i received another email which gave the details as mentioned by other victims of this fraud above. My senses told me to verify this email and thanks to your site and the information available I am spared of the trouble of getting looted in this fraud.

And yes, two days after I received the sms, my daughter also received a similar sms, only this time she was to be the winner of delhi 2010 common wealth games award of 300, 000 pounds. We both mother and daughter are thankful to your site and the people's comment on this scam. We saved a lot of money and energy. All recipients of such emails and sms's please do not reply back or correspond with these people.

Yours Faithfully,
Dr.Bhagyalaxmi Mahapatra

It is a shame that the government or telephone regulating agencies as also telecom companies are doing little to check this kind of fraud. scores of indian have lost lakh to this fraud. at least phone companies should issue advisories through text messages alerting their customers against such fraud. this whole fraud is termed phishing and is very common. the practice has been going on for years now and has apparently started in nigeria. so WATCH OUT EVERYBODY!!!

sir i gta text ystrday on my cell frm dr nelson grey and who askd me to send all details and i did so and aftr tht he said to fill a form and send him bt i didnt do as i was given aTHE DIVISIONAL DIRECTOR
