iMessage Birthday Text - Is it a Scam?

My daughter just got a forwarded text on her phone that says

"hooray! It's iMessage's birthday! 

send this to 12 people and get 120 new emojis.

i told her no-I think it’s a scam.

anyone else get this?

I got this message too.

New emojis are released at WWDCs and the official emoji website, not from text messages.

And also, apple will NOT read your personal text messages just to see if you have sent it to 12 people.

It is obviously scam, just like the other ones before.
