    I got the same text twice but I didn't think $90 was worth the chance of getting my account hacked.

    This is almost certainly a spam text that is attempting to gain your T-Mobile identification information. I don't believe T-Mobile will send unsolicited texts about prizes, especially not texts with hyperlinks to some "amazon" site. This is likely just a scammer attempting to "phish" for your personal information. As far as I know, T-Mobile's only prize and gift offers come from their T-Mobile Tuesdays App. You can go there to see legitimate offers from the company. 

     

    Here is a link and quote talking about SMS spam and security risks. 

    "If you receive an unsolicited message please forward it to the Spam Reporting Service following the three simple steps below:

    1. Reenvía el mensaje al 7726 ("SPAM" en la mayoría de los teclados de teléfono). Please don't edit the message or add any comments."

    Hope this helps.

    I did, but nothing interesting popped up. I'll just ignore it.

    Thanks for your input!

    I got this text today, I only have TMobile home internet so it had me worried since my cell service is through metro. Do u think this is real?

    Fake, especially since you have Metro as cellphone service provider.
