England 2018 world cup promotion
 SCAM ALERT - IF IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT PROBABLY IS [/b]
On scam alert no sooner than I received an sms from a Mr Alan Jones for a UK competition, from an SA cell number with a false email address, claiming I had won 950 000.00 pounds and that a Dr Lyon Elwell, Royal Bank of Canada UK, woud be handling the transfer.
On further investigation Royal Bank of Canada confirmed they have no Dr elwell employed anywhere in the world let alone in London,
 Criminals like this are naive, thinking they will not be easily detected,when they falsify contact numbers and email addresses, make glaring typo mistakes and ludicrous insistance on insurance costs to avoid forfitting prize money.

Be warned this is a SCAM that is just begun to surface in South Africa.
