I had the same text from Argos on Sunday. I sent them a message on Twitter and this is scam which had been sent to a lot of people. Best to ignore it.0

Yep, Mr GB had it too.
He doesn't use his mobile number on many competitions, mainly those radio comps at the end of the week, so wondering how they got his details as they used his first name.Worse things will have happened in the world today..."The only thing that really matters, it to love and to be loved."0
