JB HiFi Text Scam

My wife just received this text message purportedly from JB HiFi.

“Congratulations! You took second place in our monthly draw… See what you won http://blgigl.c*m/5J9”

Strange as we have not bought anything at JB HiFi recently or entered in any promotion.

However a quick Google search revealed a great many scam warnings including this one.

I’ve just received it too, only with 3rd place. http://tbrsr.con/
DELETE!

Noted it was from JbHiFi - lower case b, rather than upper case
