Allie2 •30 Apr 2014, 10:40 AM

I also received this identical message. Please just ignore these messages at all times, as advised by an excellent attorney. Reporting it in this country is senseless, seeing that we can hardly call the fat, illiterate fish-and-chips squad who seems to be on lunch permanently, worthy policing.

Manuela •18 Jun 2013, 12:46 PM

I also just got targeted. According to the message the SA claim centre number is 0737294012. I am so great full for this website, because I was tempted to phone the number, but now I am sure it is a scam. Thank you all you smart people for figuring this out and warning others. :) I wonder how this person/people target/s their victims. Do they just dial a random number and see what happens or do they purposefully know which victims they are targeting, and if so how did they get a hold of our numbers? Freaking scary stuff.

Chris48 •27 May 2013, 08:31 AM

Why is this thing still allowed to continue, it has been nearly 18 months now, surely we have some top detectives in this Country that can deal with this matter. I have just received the same sms this morning. Come on South Africa, put these criminals in jail.

Michelle66 •9 May 2013, 04:04 PM

Also the person was a foreigner, u can hear by his accent, says his name is Michael Adams - really ...... a foreighner with an english name, how doff do they(foreigners) think South Africans are?

Chikanda Chiwaya •30 Apr 2013, 11:54 PM

I received a scam where I was advised I had won R900 000. I was also told that the promotion is linked to Virgin Mobile because I was requested to buy Virgin Mobile airtime and send the pin numbers.The number was 078 145 9317. A lady who could hardly speak good English came on the line requesting that I deposit money onto a Capitec Bank Account number1348459148 to a S.Z Jafta.

Lizette4 •26 Apr 2013, 01:24 PM

James9 •21 Nov 2012, 12:36 AM

Just recieved the same message at 00:28 on the 21st of Novemember. Its ok for all those who check google or another source when they receive this message but not everyone will. An effort needs to be made to shut this down to prevent innocent people falling in to this trap.

I got the same sms as the above. It sounded a bit fishy to me so I decided to check it out. Thanks to this site I did not go further with anything. How do they get the numbers? Wish I could get my hands on a few of these criminals and take them into a garage and go full on Dexter-style with them, cut them up and dump them into the ocean so the can become fishfood! Fucking wankers!

Anne-Marie3 •17 Oct 2012, 09:24 AM

I received same message and had to call 0718433626 to claim my R900 000 (which I ignored). Would have been nice to receive, but hey, there's no such thing as easy money! If it's so easy, something is wrong.....be aware!

Adele17 •12 Oct 2012, 08:54 AM

I received the same sms 11/10/2012 I HAVE WON R900 000 to claim ........ well I think someone should trace this guys, and give them a good whipping, or make them pay the so called prize money, someone should take action and let this guys stop. This is big scam going for months. Can no body trace this idiots.

Mayibuye iafrica •10 Oct 2012, 10:57 AM

Same experience.The police must decisively intervene now. This is a clear case of a scam.All the law enforcement agencies should have long taken this matter up.how is it possible that this SMS thugs are able to have our contacts.I am worried our personal information is evidently not secured.The rica thing has been intercepted by foreign elements.Frankly,the US and your UK rubbish may be blame aswell.

tamaryn2 •5 Oct 2012, 03:57 PM

i just received the same msg this morning. there was no answer. but the funny thing is that i am with vodacom. my worry is that the scam is now increasing in the number of people it is reaching which in turn increases the chances of them getting lucky. very sad.

Sad South African Citizen....

Dee Dee •20 Jul 2012, 10:04 AM

I phoned the guy, says he is Mike Mitchel, foreign accent, wanted me to sms him my name and Postal address, and to buy two Vodacom vouchers for R275, and give him the voucher codes. I asked him if this is a scam and he laughed and said just send me your details so you can get the money. Anyway I decided to Google this and found all these comments. Obviously this has taken time so he just called me back to ask why I havent given him the details, and I told him straight that I googled it and its a scam. What an interesting response... He said, "No it's not", and hung up! If it wasnt a scam, they wouldnt hang up!!! This is nuts... I was actually a bit excited cause that money could really help right now!!
