    My aunt received this text message from a certain Atty. Joseph T. Gonzales of PCSO. Here's the text message (sorry, di na-forward sakin yung exact text message, but she recalled that it goes something like this):

    Congratulations! Your roaming cel # <cel #> win P4million in the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes! Contact us now on how to claim your price!!

    btw, the Atty's cel # is 0920 561 3335.

    My mom tried to call that number and tried to 'claim' the money on behalf of my aunt (scripted na namin yung call & my mom didn't give any info, not even her name or my aunt's name), and the 'attorney' kept on insisting 'who is this? who is this?'

    I do not recall PCSO having any online draw specially for celfone users in roaming mode.

    you should report it to the pcso so that those scammers will go to jail. every time there is a lotto draw they announce that there are no such cell phone or online lottery programs and that if ever youdo get a text or email it should be reported to the pcso.

    Hehe...Joseph - pangalan pa lang mandarambong na....at Gonzales pa (need I say mo! ...)

    No offense meant po sa mga may namesake, am referring only dun sa mga magigiting nating politiko...

    I received a text message from this number, 09052614005 stating:

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! your cell # won 300 thou w/ ISUZU D-MAX as homepartner last Dec 19 2006. For details call this #. This is Jessie Lopez of Phil.com.center.

    Pati mga ka-officemates ko naka-receive din sila. Ignore lang namin kasi for sure nanloloko lang. Wala naman din akong sinalihan na games for a homepartner raffle.

    Halatang-halata na scam yan. But the sad thing is maraming naniniwala sa mga ganitong modus kaya marami paring nabibiktima ang mga gagong yan.

    Paano ka ba mananalo sa raffle kung di ka sumali, aber!
