Global mobile phone manufacturer Nokia has released an official communication for its users worldwide urging them not to fall prey to a lottery scam that has gone viral in past few days. According to Nokia, several users worldwide have been posting their details and email addresses on several Nokia forums awaiting results for the "Nokia lottery" they had participated in.

"Nokia is not involved in any such lottery program and any such message or email claiming to be form Nokia is a scam and Nokia is urging their users to not to participate or reply to any such email or SMS that asks them to reply back with their back account details or asks them for a small sum of money that will be utilised to enter their name in the draw, " said the Finnish company in a release.

"Nokia is encouraging users to ignore or delete the messages and to resist the temptation to reply. If you're unsure of who the message has come from, you should most probably delete the message. Certainly don't respond with your personal details. If you reply, or act on any other requested action it's possible your personal information could be misused, " the mobile phone manufacturer further warned.

The Nokia lottery is a scam. I said it a second time just to be clear. Nokia doesn’t do the lottery, or give away large sums of money. Nokia scam seems to be an increasingly popular search term and whilst people are becoming increasingly aware, scammers continue to bait innocent people to part with their hard earned money. Nokia lottery is a scam
