Thought I Had Won, Was A Con

I received a text from Gumtree yesterday saying that my mobile number had been picked and as i am a gumtree customer i have won £500 argos gift vouchers. :rotfl:
It then told me to go to www.gumtreecustomers.com to claim my prize, so i googled it before i done anything, but couldnt see anything about it. So i emailed gumtrees actual website directly and they informed me its a phishing site tryin to get peoples details.
Just incase anyone else gets this text. Just a wee heads up about it
