I have, on occasion, had a 'congratulations you have won an iphone' message appear on my iPhone. Usually when it happens it becomes associated with a specific website.
It seemed to be that that website was allowing unscrupulous people to send push notes to my phone . On a whim one day I resPended and a few days later someone phoned my iPhone wanting all my details so I gave them false ones purely as an exercise.
At the end, they said I had been entered into a lottery syndicate that had a monthly subscription and so they would need my bank details.
Yeah, so they would have my name, address, DOB and then my bank details. How stupid did they think I was?
What they had was complete false info. I hung up and tried to dial the number they had dialled from - didn't exist. The pop up messages stopped and I reset my iPhone
