Is this a scam
I received a text thanking me for my business. When I clicked the link it said that I had won a TV. After taking a survey and told me that I have to pay shipping for the TV and asked for my information. Is this a scam?
If it seems to be good to be true, it probably is. It sure sounds like a scam to me.

Also the smartfashiondaily.com webpage looked like this, and even had logos imploring it was a trusted site (although McAfee at least had no record of it).
At the VERY bottom, when I clicked terms and conditions, the scam part was revealed: by ordering and paying for shipping, you're enrolling in a trial of their app, which, after the trial period, charges you $86. This was not mentioned anywhere else, nor did you have to click on terms and conditions first.

@Nanadi I got the same one. I took the survey and it *looked* like T Mobile, but the website to get the watch was smartfashiondaily.com. Something felt off, so I did a search for that domain. It had a pretty low rating of trustworthiness, but no real proof that it was a scam site. Still, it's not worth it to me to find out the hard way.
Also, I should have noticed this earlier, but this text went out to 20 numbers at once. Red flag. 🚩 Looking at it more closely, I can't believe I even clicked on this in the first place. 🤦🏼♀️

I got a text message supposedly from T-Mobile it says that I won an Apple series 7 watch. All I have to do is complete a survey. After reading all these, I believe this is a scam and I deleted the text.

Hi out there to all of you.
I came here today to let you all that use Iphpones and Android devices that you can grab a program called SpamHound for Iphone and Android devices which allows you to block text messages that contain certain keywords and url’s.
the reason I posted this information if because of the latest unblockable text message going round that claims your bill was payed and that you won a prize and tries to get you to clink on a link which can be dangerous.
if you want in SpamHounds settings you can set it to save or auto delete from the device the messages you block by number or keywords.
you can also set it to save all your settings in your gmail account…
hope this helps you out with receiot of all the soam
p.s. remember if you set it to auto delete all blocked mms’s and texts first time somethinggets blocked its saved into spam box untill you manually delete it
hope this helps you all..

Hello, every now and then, I receive text messages from T-Mobile regarding T-Mobile Tuesdays with the #GetThanked.
I don't know if they're legit, as I am a new T-Mobile customer & don't know if this is a common procedure for them?? So, I was wondering if anybody else received these? They look like this:
<#> 2818 is your T-Mobile Tuesdays code. Enter it in the app to #GetThanked. r3LJoc8uXZB
Just for reference the text are coming from this number # 3340?
I'm sure this is probably a scam, so please don't judge! 🤫😁
I just figured I'd ask and put this up here to help any other T-Mobile customers not get scammed. If you have any info it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED ‼️
Warmest Regards,
K💋

While working through the forced 5g phone upgrade (almost 10 hours of nightmares on the phone and at the store) they tried to add Samsung watches to the deal. They said it was absolutely free. After I pushed them they said that there would be a ten dollar charge. I couldn’t get them to come out and say if it was a reoccurring one. Super shady. They also kept adding taxes and reoccurring but credited payments phones even though the promotion said that there would be non. That’s a sneaky way of locking you in.
