I received an SMS at 4:25am today saying "Congratulations!! your cellphone number has won R250,000 in NOKIA 2011 PROMO Ref No 0193 Np. pls call Mrs Linda on 0838770415 for your cash."
I phoned this number, which was answered by a woman who said that to release my money I needed to purchase a R275 VodaGo voucher and download it onto my phone. I was handed over to her "supervisor", a well spoken gentleman, who repeated the request. It was clearly not possible to download a voucher as I have a contract with another supplier. When I phoned again she asked for the pin number at which stage I accused her of fraud and the intention of reporting this crime. She became defensive but stuck to her story...

Dont stress people im also R350000 richer. Same basterds.For assholes like this they must bring back the death penalty
I got the sms. It is a scam don't fall for it. We need to get these guys locked up as there are people out there who can't use a computer to look up the scams.
why is SAPS not doing anything about this,we are faced with a huge unemployment figure and these guys are to lazy to work lock them up and take all there belongings, RICA is not working if this is how it goes
What will happen if you give them ID and proof of Residence?
I received a smsm same numbers but instead of calling Jeff it says SA customer care and I need to visit the offices in 77 Westbourne rd with ID and proof of residance. What do they get out of it if I go there personally because there is only a 76 Westbourne rd REF:BT23UK whats up with this.
Received the same on 17/03/2012 and their website looks fairly good. Take care, a definite scam!
If you check www.whois.com you will notice that the website www.ncrza.com is registered to a person in Johannesburg.I doubt if the address given is authentic.Just be alert at all times and if it sounds too good to be true it most probably is!
i just got n sms right now....goverment must do something with this
I also got an sms from NCR-ATM the same as Roger. This has to end.
Yup, same NCR-ATM sms from Jeff with same ref number to "log in". How can they have a fancy looking website / worldwide contact info and NOBODY can do a thing to them? I just don't get it. bastards.

Yip. Received an sms saying that I won some large amount of money. BT23UK was my reference number too!! Ha Ha!

I received the exact same sms from Jeff, cellphone number 083 711 9314.
