I just got a text message on my phone telling me I won GBP 2,000,000 in the Mobile Lotto. Woohoo! So long suckers and thanks for the fish.  
(Just kidding. Would you ever get a text message like this and not check it out for scamness? The scam seems to have been around for years.)

I presume it’s a 419 scam and I don’t want to take the time to bait them so I’ll just post the reply email address here.

Cheers and good baiting.
