    They get your number by buying a phone and then calling all the numbers before and after the number they are allocated. Most shops have phone numbers that are in a cerain range one after the other. They only nedd a few people to pay them to make it worthwhile.

    It's definitely a con. Such scam was already featured in XXX and Imbestigador. I myself receive 3 text messages saying I also won but just ignored them.

    It's a con, if you give me their telephone number I will prank call them and tell them I am from the Inland Revenue and they must pay the £35,000 they owe in taxes by tomorrow or they will be issued with a court summons! If you can give me their address I will arrange for 5 tons of manure to be dumped at their home! I'm not joking either! I'll do it!

    There are 7 Planes Of Existance:

    7 — Material Plane: The earth, where you are right now.
    6 — Plane of Forces
    5 — Astral Plane
    4 — Mental Plane
    3 — Too mysterious to describe.
    2 — Too mysterious to describe.
    1 — Too mysterious to describe.
