I WON A $1000 giftcard from Target!!!11!

A text message on my phone:

"Your entry in last months drawing won you a $1000 Target Giftcard! Enter "816" at target.com.tbvz.biz.
to tell us where to ship it."

Meh, don't go there. I googled it, It is a scam, a phishing expedition.. And yes, I knew better than to go there.
Notice the URL. The first clue was the .biz ending. Even though it starts our with "target.com" That .com is only part of the url. If this had been real, (yeah, sure, I should be so lucky) there would have been a / after the "target.com", and not a . (period).

I posted this is in case anyone else may be wondering about this or similar.

4. I can tell 'em where to ship it.

I was getting those from Wal Mart for a while, although I never, ever, step foot in Wal Mart. Hmmm...how did I "win" a Wal Mart drawing? I'm still baffled at how/why people fall for this bullshit.

12. You don't remain "safe."

You just can't get text messages from anyone, including those that are actually important. You have the option of not opening/deleting messages from people you don't know. Amazing concept.

Hmmmm.

Dear Atman:

Follow my lead.  Do not register for any freebies on the internet.  That way you will know in advance any notification of a win is a scam.

You're welcome-

Dear Atman:

And while your at it take a huge hammer to your PC and crush it. Your stupidity is slowing down the internet and making God Kill kittens. That is all.

And when you get done with the PC there Atman... take the same huge hammer to your head. Maybe you will knock some of the rocks out of it.
