Congratulations you are a winner of a Nokia Promo – email SCAM
My wife-to-be received this email.
She sent this to me and asked me if this was true. The moment i read it, i immediately felt that it was a scam. I googled around and found out that it really was one.
So dear readers, BEWARE!
CONGRATULATION YOU ARE A WINNER OF THE NOKIA PROMO!!!

It had the same content as the BMW-lotto scam here and here.
Always check/ask around/search the internet first before believing or replying to these kinds of emails.

Actually it’s a pretty popular type of scam in Russia where I am from. When you calling back lady by tender voice explaining how to receive the price, but you always asked to send some money for phone-call or for sending the price etc.
Not sure in your case. I also interesting in results of your investigation.
I received the following by SMS last night:
“CONGRATULATION!
Your mobile Serial number has won you 350,000.00 Euros, in the ongoing WORLD MOBILE PROMO. For claims, Tel: +34671888794, Fax: +346499600733″
Please let me know if you find anything
Hi! I’ve just received a message on my mobile phone with the same content as you have. It’s about winning 350,000 euros. I called the number +34671888794, and there was a company in Spain,they said I have to fax my personal data. The man I talked to, wasn’t very nice.I wanted to ask him something about the money and then he broke the line…
What a pity that all this is a lie!
So, you are not alone…
I am not alone
