Last night at 02.35.24 Thailand Time (20.35.24 UK time) I got a strange SMS from a tel number in Ireland (+353864582439)

Did anyone else on this website get this SMS. I did of course not reply, but wonder if I should do anything i.e. inform APPLE or Irish Authorities. Any reply would be appreciated.

Scam.

Or is this one of those "riddle, mystery, enigma" type questions?

If you didn't enter it's a scam. Flag as such to your email provider, wouldn't bother doing anything else. Why would Apple care?

you're kidding right?

Since when does apple use hotmail email addresses? This is 1000% scam. Do not reply. Delete!

Never reply to a claim you have won something in a competition you never entered. They're after your details for future spamming.

Thanks for that. I know it is a scam I just wanted to know if
someboby else got the same message and I found out that some other
people did. I called AIS and you can not block a number that sends out
an SMS only voicemail. So I guess case closed
