I got a call on my cellular in the middle of last night from one Mr Humphrey telling me that I had won US500,000 through a Nokia promotion (my cell is Motorola!!) and that he was calling me from the UK. The conversation went something like this:

Mr H: I have good news.
Me: Who is this?
Mr H: Mr Humphrey
Me: Who???
Mr H: Mr Humphrey. I am calling from the UK. You have won five hundred thousand US dollars through a Nokia promotion.
Me: Really?!
Mr H: Yes, aren’t you happy lady?
Me: Do you think I’m mad?
Mr H: Mad? Why would you be mad? Are you not happy?
Me: You have to think I’m mad! Are you mad?
Mr H: Why are you mad? You have won money through a Nokia promotion.
Me: (Sarcasm) Really? You really think I am that stupid??!!!
Mr H: No no – no stupid. You won!
Me: Where did you say you were calling from?
Mr H: UK
Me: Really? How interesting! Where in the UK
Line goes dead!!

Two minutes later the phone rang from the same number I ignored it.

I’d be interested to know how he got my number – more than coincidence as that same number came up on my husband’s B Mobile Nokia last Sunday morning.

We traced the number to Ohio.

I have to say, Mr Humphrey sounds awfully Chinese to me!!!! He really must think there are some stupid people out there!

Hello, I got this same exact call this morning. My friend advised that I should google Mr Humphrey’s name and to be honest, kind of expected to see comments like this.

I think that people like this should be locked up and the key thrown in the middle of the ocean.

Hey I’m from Trinidad & I got a call from a guy named Mr. Humphrey from Nokia United Kingdom & he told me that I won U.S. $500000.00. He asked if it was possible for me to come to the U.K. but I said no. He then told me that I would have to send U.S.$1000.oo through Western Union to pay to have the cheque sent to me via Fed Ex. He asked my name & postal address so he could make the necessary arrangements to have it sent to me. I realised something was wrong because when you send money to a stranger through Western Union you would lose your money. He told me to address it to a woman named Linda Benson of #4 Peter’s Ave., W 5 London U.K. & he would call me back to get the Western Union information.
