Phone Scam: Not so gullible

Just received an sms with country code 353, i.e., Ireland.

Nokia celebrate 40yrs. Your Mobile Number has won 600,000 pounds in the Nokia Awards. claimcode:EMAJN.To claim your prize send email to nokia.claims49@live.com

I was immediately suspicious and quick investigation uncovered the following from Nokia.

This also reminded me of someone calling me years ago to inform me that my son has been kidnapped. They or another party also called my dad but he told them to buzz off, telling them that he was also in the business!
