Genuine or dodgy message?

I just received this wotsapp message, and I am so suspicious of any message like this, so does anyone know if this is genuine or dodgy?

seems legit, just make sure you give them your bank details for the pre-trial deposit

Unfortunately some people will fall for this. They see the word FREE and thats it. I wonder where the free 'trail' will go

I had a genuine Amazon email yesterday, offering a Free GIN sample, I checked it out and it was alcohol free gin! No point in even bothering with that.

MH, your text looks like yet another scam!

It’s either them sending you stuff for a positive review, or a scam, I’d bite, but the minute they want a link to login or anything (other then an email address for a voucher code!) say ≈≈≈≈≈≈ off!

That's not a scam it's an abomination

The only official program is now Amazon Vine, they dont text you about it.

There used to be a few but Amazon put a stop to it.

Did you know you can stop premium messages being charged to your mobile, most operators will do this if you call them.

Thanks guys, I have bought a couple of remote helicopters in the past (not for me because a grown man buying little kid helicopters would be sad&#128512

. But I don't have any helicopters in my wish list, and would amazon even let companies know what is in my wish list (very unlikley), so I will ignore it.

Funny enough as well as watching people buying rubbish at boot sales on youtube, I watch a lot of the people who let the scammers who are falsely promising refunds etc to access their computer, and then they delete all the scammers files. What great satisfaction I get from seeing a scammer scammed.
