Scam! It is always a scam if you are told you won money for anything you did not enter. Apple sells computers and phones, they do not giveaway or distribute money, ever. Nor does Microsoft, Amazon, Bank of America or Wells Fargo.

Do you believe in the tooth fairy? They are the same in legitimacy. Go ahead and call and lose your money it was your choice. Apple does not give money away anymore than Bill Gates will give $500 for forwarding email.

Just got an sms saying I have won a $500 Woolworths Gift card how do I claim it

lol, it's a scam... don't call or reply to the text, it's a premium rate line that will drain your phone credit.
a legitimate prize offer will give you some sort of unique code to claim on a web site in the SMS text.

Series of emails claiming to have found a photo through a modeling agency in U.S. and will pay $15;000 to use it in UK on a billboard. Is this a common scam?

if they are asking for account details then it is a scam
however if you as a lawyer open a special trust account , you can request that they deposit the money into that special account if they are genuine
basically it will be a scam as any legitimate operation wishing to use a photo would not require a person to accept money then require it to be paid to an agent
it is that person's right to have an agent or not regardless of what country the client is in
you have to convince your client not to be involved at all

Is angela bussios online money maker real

Hi
A google search shows that although amongst other things she is a legitimate "life coach" (whatever that means?), there are a lot of references to people losing money, running scams, etc including some comments about how they are surprised she lends her name to some of these.
It has got to be your decision, but my advice would be to avoid any thing like this as these "get rich quick schemes" are nearly all bogus and ways of parting you from your money.
If there are legitimate ways then they get lost in the plethera of scams.
Hope this helps

Complaints credit card

I would contact your bank immediately and ensure that your bank account has not been raided. They should have systems in place to monitor unusual activity on your card but if you are unsure of what you have done you should show willing that there may be a problem. If it is a legitimate company and they are trying to take money from your account for items that they have not delivered you should be able to claim against your credit card as they are usually insured against this. Better to be safe than sure.

Does GOOGLE have Gmail 2010 network promotional LOTTERY ? In Johannesberg , South Africa ? Please confirm ?

ITS A SCAM BY A GROUP OF MOTHER ******* BEAWARE OF THIS EMAIL FRAUD
Lottery scam is a type of advance-fee fraud which begins with an
unexpected email notification that "You have won!" a large sum of
money in a lottery. The recipient of the message - the target of the
scam - is usually told to keep the notice secret, "due to a mix-up in
some of the names and numbers," and to contact a "claims agent." After
contacting the agent, the target of the scam will be asked to pay
"processing fees" or "transfer charges" so that the winnings can be
distributed, but will never receive any lottery payment.[1] Many email
lottery scams use the names of legitimate lottery organizations or
other legitimate corporations/companies, but this does not mean the
legitimate organizations are in any way involved with the scams.

There are several ways to recognize a fake lottery email:

Unless someone has bought a ticket, they cannot have won a prize.
There are no such things as "email" draws or any other lottery where
"no tickets were sold". This is simply another invention by the
scammer to make the victim believe that they have won.
The scammer will ask the victim to pay a fee before they can receive
their prize. It is illegal for a real lottery to charge any sort of
fee. It does not matter what they say this fee is for (courier
charges, bank charges, various imaginary certificates - these are all
made up by the scammer to get money out of their victim). All real
lotteries subtract any fee and tax from the prize.
Scam lottery emails will nearly always come from free email accounts
such as Yahoo!, Hotmail, Live, MSN, Gmail etc.

I get Scam. I think this is a Scam so I should inform this Office that your Product Name is used to scam. But if this is true, I'm so sorry. Please tell me then if this is legitimate from the HP Company or...

It is a Scam. they want your money. Anybody that tells you you won something for nothing is a scam. They are rip offs. They will tell you that you won the lottery in some other country. It is all baloney.
