Today I received a text message from (562) 682-4603 regarding my winnings from the Facebook powerball random lottery going on.
Clearly this is a scam. There is no such facebook lottery and you did not win anything either. This is a fraud attempt to scam you of your money. Here is the content of the text message:

What they will do is validate that your number is valid and continue to sell the phone number on their mail list.
