Description
I received a graphical text message at 6:30 a.m. Dec 23, 2024 with a heading of the Oracle logo, followed by these words: "HUGE Congratulations! You're a winner! Your phone number came up in the One Million Dollars from the Oracle Corporation Foundation Annual Donations!..." It says further down "If you get this message kindly text Mr. Charles Woodley (215) 215-0601 to get your prize. Your claiming code is* OCF1M$ Message the Agent now and make sure your winnings is claimed urgently, Congratulations." At the bottom of the graphic is (bottom left) a signature with the name Charles Woodley underneath, (bottom center) a large red circle with a solid red circle inside, and (bottom right) a slanted red rectangle with APPROVED in caps within.
