Scam

Hmm... how on earth did they get my number and know that I'm T-mobile?!
Yesterday I received a text that said it was from "UpgrdCentre"

T-Mobile customer, you may now claim your FREE CAMERA PHONE upgrade for your loyalty. Call now on 0207 1539153. Offer ends 10thApril. T&C's apply. Opt-out available

Instead of calling the number above, i looked at the t-mobile website and called 150. Yup, scam indeed - and have found several threads where multiple people have been targetted by people wanting their details via this number. They initially targetted Orange customers, and now T-mobile.

This website seems quite useful for unknown numbers.
