General BlackBerry® Functions and Features

Hi all,

Just confirming a validity of a blackberry xmas promotion

I have received a text message from blackberry saying that my phone number has been selected in the BLACKBERRY MOBILE XMAS PROMO with ref no: BB011..

Email blackberryclaimsdept@live.com for claims

If the business realised this is a scam, some sort of action must be taken to avoid further damage to the company image.

Cheers.

I've heard of no Christmas promotion from RIM.  You might check with your carrier and see if it's something from them but it doesn't look like that's the case either.

yeah..

i reckoned it is a scam..

I hope just others dont get hooked..

cheers..

Hey I'm on the same hunt as you for information. I got the same text but my Ref number was different. I don't even own a blackberry! If you find out anything else can you post it here and I'll do the same. Cheers K

This is not a promotion run by BlackBerry/RIM.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!

Given that content, I'd deduce it to be "not real" ("fraud" carries a totally different meaning).

Good luck!
