you won $1000 target card

Received a text message saying I had won $1000.00 and to go to TargetContests.com to redeem. Researched it as a scam. Need to notify cell provider to block the number

People have some common sense and know this is a SCAM!!!  Do not click on it or call any numbers about it as you are wasting your time.

Also received text from this number saying to go to target.com and enter code to receive $1,000.  When is this stuff ever going to end?

an hour ago i got a text saying your entry last month has won go to target contest.com and enter your winning code. i called the number and i think its a prank text because when i called they had a voicemail

No problem. Glad to help.

Please forgive the typos.  I'm not quite awake yet.

I got the information from the Atlanta-Journal-Constitution:

I have been fortunate enough (so far) to not have to use it. Just passing the information onto others.

Please forgive the typos

Alfalfa:

   Have you received any correspondence from Cloudmark regarding tis situation?  And would you mind telling me where you got this link?  I just want to verify its validity through a "Mark".  You need not reply if you feel UN comfortable in doing so, of course.  You can leave your reply, if any, at my comment entry below.

   Thank You,

Security company Cloudmark created a spam messaging reporting service that nation?s major wireless carriers agreed earlier this year to start using. Now, customers of AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and others can forward their text spam message to 7726. The mobile phone carrier will ask customers for the phone number that?s linked to the spam message so they and Cloudmark can start investigating.

recieved a call saying I had won a 1,000 gift card from target

just received a text message that I had won the contest I entered last month at Walmart.....$1,000.00 gift card.    Never entered any contest....don't shop at Walmart.   Googled the number and found this.

Got the same thing only supposedly a Walmart Card that my "friend" had entered me for.  Bul@$*&

As mentioned before on 800notes.com, I received a random txt message from this number stating that I won $1000 Best Buy gift card. I don't ever enter in any contests (such is my luck that I don't win), but my curiosity got the best of me. I Googled it, but with no results for such website. Then Googled the number where I learn that I'm not the only one its happened to.

This is a version of the gift-card-offer scam   http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/bestbuy.asp
