[Resolved]  Microsoft Mobile Award Draw — Fake/Bogus SMS/E-mail

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

The SMS's/e-mail's which you get to mobile #'s/e-mail id's, saying "your mobile number is selected in the Microsoft Mobile Draw Award of 500000 GBP" is of FAKE/FRAUD. I got the sms and replied and sent all the requested information. After two to three days, again same sms i got, saying "Your winning fund of 500000GPB from Microsoft company UK has been sent on air with our diplomat Mr Mark Philip to be arriving India tomorrow. Check your e-mail" and I checked the e-mail and sent again requested information. The next day I got call from FAKE person saying that he is Diplomat Mark Philip. The English which he was speaking seemed me that he was truely had come from UK because he was speaking as good as UK person could speak. He told me to pay Rs 19000 for custom charges and I paid the amount to his specified bank account # but again he asked to pay Rs 70000 to transfer the money form GPB to Indian rupee. But I investigated the bank employee regarding this and they told me that it was fraud and fake, not to pay the money. I was cheated hard money of 19000 thousand. If any one receives such kind of sms, just ignore and don't get cheated by this.
