New reports are emerging of SMS scams promising prizes which you need to claim by sending your email address. They're the new version of 'email scams'.
The new scam involves a text message telling you that you've won a sum of money or a large prize, but in order to claim it you need to text back your email address. The con artists can then access you email account and get personal details.
To report a scam, contact:
