How do you know this is a hoax?
June 10th, 2007 at 10:26 am
Hi Judy, it wasn’t addressed to me personally, so feel free if you like to claim the free BMW. Believe me, it’s a scam. There will be some foil along the way where you’ll either be asked for a deposit or your bank details.

I’ve been working those lads over for about a week now. What great fun! And they just keep coming back for more! HAHAHAHAHA!

Nice work, sir. Keep it up!
June 19th, 2007 at 9:27 pm
below is part of the email I received.
I knew it was a hoax since it is not official – they told me a secret number (which I didn’t create and is now no longer secret!) and they cannot even be bothered to learn enough english to get the date written as 31st May! Be warned folks it’s another scam – could have done with the £450,000 though! sob sob!!!

Hello everyone
Looks like your scammers are moving abroad.
I’m in South Africa and my mom received an sms from BMW congratulating her on her winnings. 250 000 pounds!!!
Thank goodness my mom spoke to me first…
I have emailed them, on my mom’s behalf, and they asked me to fill out a detailed form. When I told them that I felt this was really unprofessional they asked ME for an apology…
Hehehe… Can you beieve it?!
Anyway…
I’m having fun stringing them along for a while…

September 1st, 2007 at 4:29 am
Hi Guys ,
Yes I got one of these great E-Mails as well woohoo . Can anyone actually tell me what these people gain out of doing this ?
September 2nd, 2007 at 12:42 pm
Hi Jo, they asked you for an apology?!! I had no idea this was also being used as an SMS scam. Please let us know how you get along with stringing them along.
Hi Sharon, somewhere along the line – probably when you think you’re very close to getting your brand new BMW – you’ll be asked for some sensitive information, like bank account number and sort code.
September 4th, 2007 at 7:32 am
hi everyone,
i knew from the very first that it is a hoax; you would think that a big compny like BMW would have a website and that their contact information would not be referred to a yahoo e-mail address.how stupid do they thing people are? anyways i think i will play them over for some time ha ha ha.

I everyone.
I’m a winner of a BMW serie 5 and 500 000 Pound sterling.
I did reply to it. Than the delivery company sent me a mail asking me a sum of 1900.US in order the get my prize home.
A good chance that my wife though me out of it.
She told me to surf the net to do some research.
A good think that a got a wife with a head on her shoulder and that I did not have that kind of money to pay the delivery services.
After all, I happy to be poor… HAHAHAHA!!!
September 12th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
As much as I hate to say it, I thought I might br a scam, but replied anyway, making sure not to give too much informantion. I just hope that my stupidity doesn’t hurt me in anyway…..

Hey folks,
I got the congradulatory email also. I was so excited-not. I don’t know about all of you but mine included some very convincing photos of supposed winners holding their checks- woo hoo!
Since reading about the person who was requested to serve up an apology I may respond with a statement to set them spinning and looking for more than an apology. What are they going to do call the police.
I’ve been tempted, just for idiots like these, to open an account with no money or prohibit any access other than from a local branch just to see what they do.
Drive safe and spend your winnings wisely.

I got the same offer and used my I phone to look up the address. Of Course there is no such division of BMW at that given address but hey this is the internet and a virtual world so I won a virtual fortune and a virtual Lux automobile! It’s like being in the Sims!
