I recieved a text message from the provided phone number (note that it is not a short code) with the following message: You have won a $1000 Walmart Gift Card! To claim enter WINN at http://prizesforyou.Biz/wm (Details Apply) This was at 7:33 pm. I looked up the walmart scam online and it looks like a lot of people have lost money from this scam. Wallmart apparently doesn't offer any such random prizes (big surprise) and the website, though it contains branding, is unaffiliated with Walmart. More sinister than this however, is that when you click on the privacy policy statement, a timer appears that starts counting down the 5 minutes you have left to fill in the appropriate information and collect your... (snicker)... Prize.
