Scam: "AT&T Free Msg: You came in ... in the Connecticut AT&T SWEEPSTAKES"
I received a text that says "AT&T Free Msg: Makenzie! You came in 2nd in the Connecticut AT&T SWEEPSTAKES! Claim your bounty here : (website link), or show this code at AT&T story (code)"
I do not live in Connecticut so I assume this is a scam but just to be sure.

Received a text message from 1(469)543-5832 stating: "AT&T Free Msg: (name left out for privacy purposes)! You came in 1st in the Connecticut AT&T SWEEPSTAKES! Claim the prize here: (link, left out as well), or show this code at AT&T store (left code out, as well)."
I did not put the specifics for the name or the link or the code that was in the message for privacy purposes, but 1) the name that I got a text for is not mine, 2) I am not a Connecticut resident, and 3) just checking to see if this is legit, not for my own sake but for the person this message should have been for, if actually real. Looking for feedback or advice since I will not click on the link in the text for fear of a virus. Thanks!

My first clue that it is a scam was that the text is addressed to "Andrew." My name is "Molly." I figured AT&T would know who I am. Side note: I kept getting texts to "Andrew" a few months ago about potential buyers lining up to purchase some land "I" have in Missouri. I have no land in Missouri, and I'm still not Andrew. Once I responded to a text accepting one of their offers, I stopped getting the messages.
