I got a text from 44264: "Official Reward Notice: Call 8002572524 now to claim $200 Gas Vouchers. Keep Prize text alert account active.txt fs stop 2 end"

Got same, anyone?

I received the same text "Official Reward Notice: Call 8002572524 now to claim $200 Gas Vouchers. Keep Prize text alert account active.txt fs stop 2 end" ... but I never belive stuff like this, so I haven't called.  You cal Ibrahim ... and let me know if it's real. =)

Same text. Seems suspicious. Text came at 11:43 a.m. on Oct. 6

Same message as Ibrahim. Maybe I'll call later from a pay phone lol

got the same message as ibrahim also. @ 12:12pm Oct. 9. i dont remember signing up for anything like this??? ..

called and got someone with a strong India accent who starting telling me they needed a 1 one processing fee of $2 at which point I hung up

unwanted threatening to charge what my phone acct?  how are they planning to bill in this scam?  is it in the return call?

I got text from 98019 to call to 8002572524 now to claim $20 gift card and $200 in Gas! Is this scam? Did any body received $20 gift card and $200 in Gas??

I just got the same text too that I won a $20 gift card and $200 in gas but then the guy that answered my call said a $50.00 walmart card but I had to pay 3.95 in processing fees and wouldnt explain how he got my number

I recieved a text today from 98019 that said this but also I got the exact same text yesterday from a (317) area code number. I know (317) is Indianapolis, so yes I believe its spam. P.s I replied STOP to the (317) number and recieved the 98019 text today.

I just received this message from 98019--

"Offical Reward Notice: Call 8002572524 now to claim your $20 Gift Card and $200 in Gas! Keep Prize text alert account active. txt stop 2 end"

Anyone know what tis is about? Looks like a bunch of us are in the same boat here. Anyone called it back? I'm pretty sure it's a scam.

I got the same text 40 min ago. It sounds like a scam.

its always a scam...

I just received the following text:

"Official Notice: Call 8002461688 now to claim your $20 Visa Gift Card for trying Great Fun! Coupon Code 5345. Keep Prize txt alrt acct active.txt stop 2 end"

it's a scam but it ticks me off.  Some of us have to oay for each text message!  Jerks!

I got this same text as you all have described, the $20 gift card, I called the 800-245-5651 number and after going through a few "sales people" got the number 866-309-8187 to call and find out how they got my information and to stop the texts.

I tried the number but they are closed (open 8:15 am to 5:00 pm East coast time). Try it out and see what info you can get.

I got the same text. Called the number to see how to stop the text, and apparently all you have to do is reply to the message with "stop". Look up "great fun rip off" on google...its a scam!

Please don't call this scam number.  Don't respond with a text either.  They will contact your cell phone provider and ding your account for some amount of money.  There is a law that allows cell providers to act as the collector for any scam that is out there and not be held liable.  Providers get a percentage of the scam so they are not interested in stopping it.  SOMEWHERE in the small print, in a mumbled permission, or whatever, you will give them permission to charge your carrier and will not get it back.

If you receive a check from them. Endorsing it will give them permission to tap your checking account for a monthly fee (the permission is in almost illegible faded print on the back of the check).
