“CONGRATULATIONS! Your mobile no has won R450 000.00 on a Nokia promotion with ticket no 0166P. For claim call Mrs Lucia Khumalo on 0789848586 from 8 am to 5 pm.” Have you received an SMS such as this? Then you’ve been the target of a cellphone


scam which, rather than making you money, could cost you dearly. This sort of con is commonly known as a 419 or advance scam because the so-called


lucky winner always has to cough up a little in advance before it apparently starts raining money. And this is exactly how crooks still succeed in conning plenty of unsuspecting South


Africans. Many believe these scams originate in Nigeria, hence the description 419, which is

the number of the criminal procedure law article that applies to fraud in Nigeria. But don’t believe it: a special YOU investigation has revealed our fellow South Africans are also defrauding us – and making pots of money doing so. Most of us have learnt to ignore these SMSs, but what happens if you actually phone


the number and try to claim your prize? A YOU writer set out to find out. The phone rings three times before a female voice replies. In the background are the


faint sounds of a TV programme and people talking. I explain I’ve received an SMS about prize money and read her the ticket number.
