Scam

I received a text message this morning telling me that I had won £4000. Contact a web address to claim my prize. Seems like a scam to me so I suggest that if you receive a message asking you to contact Planet7Casino do not attempt to contact and delete the text. I have reported it to
"actionfraud"

Re: Scam

Can you adjust that link in your initial post Barrie?

It links to somewhere, I don't want to follow that.

Re: Scam

Where it says planet7casino it links to http://www.acrvip .***/*** (link obscured to prevent its use)

Not sure if that was you or the forum.

If you report the post I'm sure Neil will remove the link.

I put the full web site address on, the forum must have changed it.

It came to me as a text and I showed the web address from the text, that I had to contact to claim my £4000.00 free gift to warn others not to be caught out. It would appear that the forum changed the web address to a link. I quite agree that it would be a good idea to remove the link.

Always best not to put suspect links onsite, just describe them, it prevents the gullible from actually going to an iffy site.

Not to worry I think we've all done it at sometime, I know I have, we just need to be careful.
