Hi, I am Australian I got the same text message. Lohse12@yahoo.com. They give out fake code number to contact John Scholer Investments. Then to contact Mr Graham Halloway of Community Bank in Canada. They both sound like (Africans) Nigerians.The Number is 1 647 292 3052

I also got this message a few days ago too. I'm in Bangkok, Thailand.

i receive the same message a couple of nigths ago but from this number instead of the one above +16474034158 and am all the way in seychelles really these people dont have anything better to do then scam others i dont even have a dime to my name so why would i send a fee to receive money thats just stupid take the fee from the winning if a fee is required. Really what is this world coming to.

It's a Nigerian scam. (1) Dying man/woman who wants to give you money (2) Lottery winner who wants to share it with you. Notice how you're never named in the email, text, letter. You'd think if you were selected they'd know who you were, right? Of course, the next step is you must send a "fee" to get your winnings. A classic Nigerian advance fee scam - as old as the hills.

I received this text message at 9.31 pm which seemed very strange so I wanted to see if anyone else received it.
