Network providers don't send you messages to call them when you win something they will b the one to call you and besides i called customer care to confirm the message and it turned out to be false. The only thing that suprised me was how the scammers was able to use Airtel NG to send the message.

They use Airtel NG because of they own bulk sms sites and they put it in place of display name. Haven't you wonder why some sms you receive contain names instead of phone number.
