Text from this number stating, "You entered a contest last month and you won! Go to Http://bit.ly/IRQJiC to claim your FREE $500 Visa Giftcard now. You have 24 hours to claim your Giftcard!"

Hmmm.... remember!! "There's no such thing as a free lunch"... "You don't get something for nothing".... "Scammers prey on people whose greed gets the better of them", etc., etc. ... Tried the website to see if I could identify anything about the sender, but Malware Program shut down the browser before it opened!! ;)

That ought to tell everybody something about them. Antivirus and Malware shields didn't like them.
