I received a SMS this afternoon saying that I won RM14000 in a lucky draw. But luckily, I had been listening to radio during my holiday, so I know about this SMS scam! Not sure where they get my number, but the content of the SMS is like this:
Pengumuman dari PETRONAS MAS, TAHNIAH! SimCard Anda betua memenangi undia hadiah Wang tunai RM 14.000 Sila hubungi telefon. 0062858802027** Terima kasih
Actually, it is quite easy to identify that this SMS is a fake. There are few spelling mistakes and grammar error, which usually won’t happen in contest organize by a large company such as Petronas. You can check out the warning that send out by Petronas below.

Hi hello everyone,
i received SMS which stated as Mr. Khudrat mentioned.
From; +682111102683
and to contact; 006285880692793
I did contact the number still active even thought it is scam.
The person who attend the call is Mr. Abdul Rahman Bin Salleh (fake),
and our bank account have to be filled atleast 1k. Is that funny?
When they mention 14,000 is a winner present,, then what the heck we
should have 1k in our bank account?

its so dumb…
owwh my God… yesterday i’ve got the same message as mentioned… it’s from petronas mas, they said that my simcard won cash prize rm 14,000 and they wanted my account no. lucky, i never know what is my account no. i’m so excited but i know this message is fake, fake and fake.
i think this is one of the cyber’s crime….. the laws must take this issues seriously.
Is there anything we could do about this? I still get the scam message today after six months and the “call centre” is still working. Definitely someone somehow will get hooked someday.
hai,i got one message:-

Hey, i just received the text about half an bour ago. The price money is now RM30,000. the sender phone number is +60128647103 and the number to call is 0128403567. I knew it had got to be a scam thus I checked the net to confirm my suspicion. True enough!!
got the same massage. the authority have to take action seriously.
My husbband working in Singapore is asked to open an account with UOB ( in s’pore)and the funny thing is, all other bank account will not do.That’s easy we will just go to this one bank to enquire will do. It really was a scam!! No such contest tie to them at all. It’s a fake game; i’m afraid once you’ve given your account number away, all your savings would be withdrawn instantly instead of getting a cent from the rubbish Lucky Draw!!!
The fake SMS msg goes like this:-
Congratulation!!! Your Sim Card get $7000 from PETRONAS. please call Petronas Centre: +6281339662456. http://www.petronas.com
