I received a text at 1:09 A.M. claiming I had been donated 1 Million USD and I just needed to email stevetrans34@gmail.com for more details. It came from a weird number 1410100002... Almost like it was an automated text sent out to a mass group (kinda like when you get rebox texts from 727272) . I will copy and paste exactly what was sent in this text message

Contact Mr. Steve Tran on (stevetrans34@hotmail.com) for more details about this.(End)

Be careful with these scammers. I have no idea how they got my number but when speaking directly to then they sound very persuasive and are very persistent. Don't want anyone else caught up in a mess. Is there any other places to report them too along with her? Number has already been blocked!

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
