    So I woke earlier today to see that I had a PIN message, the first one I have ever received. In it, it states that I just won a Honda Jazz car. I don't know how they would have gotten my pin as I haven't given it out randomly ever before and have only 4 trusted people on BBM, Kevin being one of them. So my question today is, Has anyone else received such a message also? I called BBRY tech to inquire about it and they have referred me to BBRY HQ. Calling there now and I will keep you all posted as to if I did actually win a brand new car or if it is a phishing scam.

    It's probably Kevin, he did say if Instagram doesn't come he'll buy someone a car.

    Congratulations

    Although that's been n gone now

    Kevin was buying someone a R/C car. This is a new 2013 Honda Jazz.

    I know the old saying, if its too good to be true it usually is, but the BBRY tech support person said that it indeed did come from someone at BBRY and as I said previous to get in touch with Waterloo.

    when I contacted BBRY here in Canukia, they said it indeed came from someone at BBRY. so after hearing that from tech support it tends to lean more to factual But the call i will make to Thor this coming Monday should clear things up.

    That's a real shame, on another note, did Blackberry say anything else, considering had it been anyone else their security may of been compromised and in turn scammed.

    I'd like to know what blackberry is doing to combat spam and fraud through their devices.

    Now it's time to really mess with them. Send the police, alert the telecom provider and... Report the e-mail addresses for phishing after using them to write a confession and taking themselves in to the polce/authorities of their state/province/country/shire/town/village/city. Remember, the address could really be fake too. I would drop it in google or bing maps.Thought I should edit to make it more amusing.

    Well I odnt know if posting others info on here is legal or not, maybe a Moderator could tell me if it is. But it's just been escalated to BBRY Security and we have open up an on going ticket and follow up process. Sometime, the CS said, that there may just be a 'Raffle' Happening and if I had registered for anything bbry, that I could indeed win a car.. That is what they are really checking into. When I said fake the other day, it was because of many searches and finding forums where people said it was fake but the information of who was sending it was different. I will keep everyone updated as this progresses. Here's a partial screencap.

    Also, can a Mod keep this from hitting the front page until I know exactly what is transpiring?
