The next time you get a "personal" letter or telephone call telling you "it’s your lucky day," the Federal Trade Commission encourages you to remember that:


1.Legitimate sweepstakes don’t require you to pay or buy something to enter or improve your chances of winning, or to pay "taxes" or "shipping and handling charges" to get your prize.

If you have to pay to receive your "prize," it’s not a prize at all.

It's a total scam.   They will ask you for money up front in order to get your prize.   You send the money, but they don't send the prize.   You lose.

I need 2 know more about d promo and where 2 claim my price.

I recieved a message saying that i have won 415,000 GBP in d ongoing nokia promo. Payment no.NK191

Its a scam.  There is no prize.  The scammer will try to get you to pay him taxes or a money transfer fee or some other fee, then vanish with your money.  

Stop all contact with him.
