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.

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