Hello.

Recently I received an SMS from Orange mobile phone that I won 150,000 UK pounds. I did contact them, and an attachment was send to me showing the cheque of 150,000 with my name, but I cant receive it untill I pay 320 pounds for the delivery.
Do you think I should proceed and send the money?
Did anyone get something similar?

Thank You

That sounds like a complete scam. You need to contact Orange and notify them about this. I highly doubt that the SMS originated from them. You probably got spoofed. Do not send any money.

They are just trying to make you fool, before proceeding it's better to contact Orange mobile phone and clarify.

It's a scam. You shouldn't if you've won, you shouldn't pay for anything.
