A group of people with ill-motive is now trying to fool Nokia Android smartphone users.
A User on Nokia Community had posted a couple of screenshots and went on saying that the fraudsters sent him an SMS, persuading the recipient to pay a sum of Rs. 6,500 so as to collect a TATA Sarafi car or 1,260,000 INR. And the worst thing is whoever did this claimed to be associated with Nokia.
HMD, however, quickly responded with a warning asked users to ignore this kind of SMS straight away. The company also encourages users to call 18001028169 or email support@hmdglobal.com for assistance.
Hi everyone!
Please be aware that we have recently become aware that somebody is sending fake/spoof SMS, calls and emails referencing Nokia.com whereby unsuspecting consumers are being asked to submit money/registration fees against a lucky draw. PLEASE DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY OF THESE FAKE OFFERS OR GIVE OUT ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION IN THIS REGARD.
Please contact 18001028169 or support@hmdglobal.com for any further queries.
