Hi

Just had an email to say i had won a trip to spain for the facebook comp in Nov/Dec. If this is true, what does the holiday entail and what determines an actual scam?

Thank you!

This was a genuine comp. I won a runners up bottle of wine :j. Well done. :beer:

Not sure if I'm on the right bit as I'm a newbie.
There's a Facebook page called 'apple raffles' offering 22 iPhone 4S's.
it's saying like and share but also download a link to verify and keep browser open.
I am thinking possible virus?

Received a letter yesterday form Vitamail saying that I had the winning number for a £15,000 payout. To claim I needed to respond to them within 48hrs with an order. It didn't really give me time to think so I ordered the minimum and await my cheque.
Today I have searched the internet only to find warnings of a scam so whether I will ever get any winnings is yet to be seen.
I WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED.
