The boys are at it again. this time i fear it works better than the last con

1: you get the usual text message that you have won N1m in the MTN treasure hunt
2: No request for money or recharge card, just a code to login to a Winners page to confirm within 8hrs that you actually won
3: At the winners page you are asked for key banking details and ATM PINs that can be used to request for a new ATM card from any Bank in Nigeria
