Hello,
I have also received same email ( after answering to initial SMS ).
If BT PLC is not conducting any such cash prize draw ; it is like defamation of
the company as well as British Govt.. I make a request to BT PLC that,
this case should be investigated up to the end & finished by punishing cyber criminals
behind it.
Even these comments can be considered as legal complaints against these criminals.
