    Just got a text from an English number: +447557374348 saying my number has been selected as the winner of £750,000 in Sky Mobile raffle 2014, and gave a reference number. E-mail address is fiduciaryagent@skymobileraffle.com. Genuine? Nah!

    Some poor bastard probably did win some prize like that but was too scared to claim it because of all these scams.
