Uh oh. I got a different one that said to enter to win a tool shed. I entered and supposedly won but they needed shipping so I sent it. It was only $9.95, but if it's a scam, they have my bank info now. Arg! I really really hope that one was real cause I DID just rate some things I bought from there.
Get several of these a week 1AM in the morning! Unable to block them but delete them immediately. Sick of these scammers.
I have gotten 3 texts in the last month that says we have a winner from 05889@localtoprank.comI can't block it, but delete right away.
I got the text today. I looked up the weekend getaway prize on the computer and saw that only one prize of $5000 would be awarded. Anything else is definitely a scam.
I got the same text today. Didn't open it. Good thing I didn't.
Got a similar message today
