Scam: "AT&T Free Msg: You came in ... in the Connecticut AT&T SWEEPSTAKES"

SCAM!!! I live in MS! First tip off! Don’t click the link!!

I came in 3rd as Holly, 2nd as Joe, then finally 1st as myself, Mercedes.   

Far from Connecticut 🤣.

I got a text from art free message, saying I came in 3rd in a Connecticut att contest and won an iPad, it also gives me a link to log in and a code to take to an Att store, is this real?

AT&T : THOMAS! You came 1st in the Connecticut AT&T SWEEPSTAKES! Claim the iPhone12 here: q5fmv.info/NvYtyX97Po, or show this code at AT&T store 1z22994

Got this last night. Glad I won, just hope I don’t have to drive to from Wisconsin to Connecticut to claim it. Gas, tolls, lodging and food would be more than the IPhone is worth. Stupid Russian hackers

Congratulations Thomas! I am envious, I got 2nd along many others.

My clues that this is a scam are that the message referenced me by my first name (none of the legitimate messages has my name) and second I did not get the usual nice Blue Globe AT&T logo that I get with my legitimate AT&T Free Msgs (the source of messages is in my contacts)

Text says I came in second in conn. Contest  it says to follow the link or take it to att store. Thought it was scam for sure but then said you can take it to the store. Is this real

Connecticut sweepstakes message came through figure it was a scam but it’s clearly says AT&T just want to warn. 

Bummer, I only came in in 3rd place.  All they want to give me is a new iPad.  🤣

I got this message from “AT&T” saying “AT&T Free Msg: Marissa! You came 2nd in the Connecticut AT&T SWEEPSTAKES! Claim the iPhone12 here: r2fxv.info/Z7IIBrrSeQ, or show this code at AT&T store 1z44432” (edited as per community guidelines) it’s a scam it has to be 

I didn't get the text.  I can't decide if I should be relieved or offended.
