Hello,

I received a text from Vodafone from the following number +243 895 470 165 it included a link to the  website address vodafone.ukco.world.

Is this a scam?

Thanks.

Hi, I have been receiving texts telling me I have over 500 points and it shows me pictures of presents I can pick !! It's a scam text and it managed to get into my private messages...

@ironrobson21 As others have said, it’s a scam. That number is from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and is operated by Orange. ‘Nuff said.
