I’ve seen all sort of scams in my life, from the ones that my fellow bad romanian compatriots do on eBay, to credit card scams and now website scams via paypal.

You won a Nokia N95 and 500 Euro!

I called back, and there was this desk guy, he answered with “Nokia Telecom, my name is Mazilu Lucian, how can I help you?” - so I’ve told him about the message I got and asked what do I have to do to claim it. He then asked me for my name, I gave him wrong one to verify, he verified and said Yes, you are in our database. (*no shit?*) What do I have to do now? - All you need to do is pay for 2 recharge numbers and after you give me the numbers we can validate you. (HA! Got him!). I agreed. I went to a local shop, they said it’s a hoax, and well, I called some very influent people (one actually, but a guy with big power in the telecom), right now he is answering some questions at the police station for sure.

Cheers mister scammer, you just attempted to scam the one in charge with huge social engineering skills!
