O/T "Congratulations you have won" message on mobile phone

If you get such a message do not click ok
Message is embeded
Look for an unfamiliar app in your apps list & delete it

Don't think it's the same one
Suffice to say that these scammers will no doubt have different ways of scamming
The point of my post was to bring to the attention of all on here to beware of messages of the type "congratulations you have won"
& don't be drawn into clicking "OK" even though that option is the only one on the screen
I repeat, look on your apps list for one that seems unfamiliar & uninstall it
If you uninstall the wrong one you can always reinstall
If you're not sure, pop into your service provider phone shop for advice

Following on Exiles post , HMRC scams , today my wife received a phone call , asking her to contact our solicitors/lawyers was the term they used , unpaid income tax , they even left a voicemail , which on hearing again is quite threatening , DON'T call them back , report to your Bank and line provider, even mobile numbers are now being targeted , "Keep safe and well" was their last words ,
Don't let these Bastuds take your hard earned money
