text msg scam
7/20/2015 at 11:35 AM

I received this text msg today and of course the originators number did not show up.
Anyone else get one? (Cell provider is mts).

Please contact me via email to cikot2@outlook.com for further details about a late client with funds unclaimed and why i contacted you. Thanks. Ciko Thomas =

Has anyone else received this text message?

"Please contact me via email to ciko2@outlook.com for further details about a late client with funds unclaimed and why I contacted you. Thanks. Ciko Thomas"

Sounds like a scam to me.

contact MTS to see if there is a breach in their system? This is the second scam in the last couple of days.
