apple beta code scam ipad thing -ipad3winner.info

Yep, apple spam crap

Received a text from them around 12:30 a.m. on April 2, 2012.

"Apple is looking for people to Test & Keep the New iPad 3! But only the 1st 1000 users that goto ____(website)____ and enter code BETA will Receive it!"

I actually assumed I had been spammed via Google Plus, as the telephone number was extremely similar to the messages I have received from Google Plus' SMS Notification service.

I did not attempt to visit the site. A general rule of thumb, is that if you ever receive a message about an Apple product, mobile phone, or weight loss; it is generally a serious scam. Don't visit the site.

I received text from same number about Test & Keep and iPad 3!  This is just a scam.  How do we make them stop?

Just got a text from 201-912-9167 for a chance to get a free Ipad 3.  Test reads: "First 1,000 users that goto: http://ipad3winner.info and ender code BETA will receive it!"  Don't do it!!!  It's a scam.
