SMS World Cup ticket and lottery scam starts up

This is just a little warning for those that have received an SMS telling them they have won money or free tickets to the World Cup, that sorry, you haven't.

All that is happening is the fraudsters are getting advanced. Instead of sending out emails, that a lot of email providers and spam protection filters are now recognising, they are sending them via SMS and hoping that of the thousands they send out, just a few reply.

This is a scam, it is not real and our best advice to you is to just delete the message and not even reply. By replying you are only confirming that your number functions and that only means you are likely to get more messages in the future.

If you receive an SMS saying you have won a ticket or some money - delete the message
