AT&T Connecticut Contest

Hello.  I received two text messages yesterday saying that I won a prize in the AT&T Connecticut Contest.   It came with a link, which I did not click; however, the messages also gave me two different "winning" codes stating that I cold stop by an AT&T store.

The message came across as "Free Message from AT&T"

Can you please advise me as to the reality of this contest and text messages?

 Thanks everyone for responding; however, I come from a background of broadcasting and legal. So with my big radio personality, megaphone through the station, I am just the person to report the online scam to the FBI, FCC, & DOJ.

Maybe they'll be able to narrow it down to the IP address of where it is being hosted and then take appropriate actions.
