Ha! I recieved the same message and confirmation number and I called in. Apparently the prizes I won arent the ones I signed up for (which was for movie tickets from edwards marquee) they offerd me a benz and cash. All I have to do is go to conroe. Sounds alot like this other scam: http://www.pissedconsumer.com/reviews-by-company/silverleaf-resorts/has-anyone-actually-won-the-car-or-big-money-20131217464601.html

Recieved the same sweepstakes winner text msg from text # 25370. Had the same 888-768-6153 but Code: MP147H49
I'm going to ignore it for now. I did recieve a pre-recorded call from 912-916-9997 just before the text, which I listened to and pressed the correct # to be removed from list. The text came just a few minutes after that, so wonder if its related.

Same text... just delete it and move on with your life.

Just received the same message with same prize. Thank God I decided to Google the number and see all these comments from others. Also, replied STOP and got the Smoothie King response. I hope the messages stop. :-(

Received a text message to call them regarding my sweepstakes entry.

I've been getting the same messages and just replied with the STOP message. I then got an immediate text that reads: "Smoothie King Promo Alerts.You have opted out and will receive no more messages.800-577-4200". We'll see if it works. I wasn't going to respond but they've been blowing up my cell by the hour for the past week. I've never even seen the inside of a Smoothie King establishment much less enter a sweepstakes there.

Just got the same message and immediately Google-d the number. Thank goodness for the Internet! Should I reply "STOP," or will that just encourage more messages?

Just got same message..called immediately. They are closed call back tomorrow.   Ha!!

My sister received this message in a text. She was convinced it was true, and called the number. She set up a appointment to meet in Conroe (hours away from where we live), at noon the day after Christmas to accept her new Mercedes Benz. Luckily we finally convinced her it was a scam after hours of google searches.

Received mailer listing phone number 888-768-6153. Address listed on mailer is 6321 Blvd 26, Suite 450, North Richland Hills, TX 76180. Also offering many prizes but I must call within 72 hours, etc.

After an Internet search I found out that this business is aka "Sliverleaf Resorts" which is a Time Share company.  There are apparently several complaints about them with the Dallas Better Business Bureau.  This company is a telemailer / telemarketing firm.  I would recommend trashing their mailings and tell them to take you off their calling list if they call you.
