"Samsung Galaxy IAP C0ntest" is a Lottery Scam

Scammers are sending out the fake text and email message below, which claims that the recipients are winners of a Galaxy S7 smartphone or other Samsung electronics in the "Samsung Galaxy IAP C0ntest." But, there is no such "Samsung Galaxy IAP" contest, lottery, promotion, or offer. The message is just another lottery scam that is being used by scammers to trick people into sending them their personal information and money, which the scammers claim their potential victims must do in order to receive their so-called prizes. Therefore, recipients of the fake "Samsung Galaxy IAP Contest" message should delete it and should never follow the instructions in it.
