This is the message I sent to the FTC, Verizon Wireless, Target, and my State Attorney General (IL) :
Last night I rc'vd two strange txt messages from phone numbers 619-481-8220 and 619-961-0141 at 12:00am and 3:02am respectively. The content was as follows:
Your entry last month has WON! Go to TargetContests.com and enter your winning code 6354 to claim your FREE $1000 Target gift card within 24 hrs.
I know this is a scam (just type in the phone number in any search engine) but wanted to make you aware should you not be aware of such a scam and, if you are aware, to have another complainer to add to your list.
