wierd french 'win'

Hello, I just wanted to ask if anyone else had received an email (in french) stating they had won business cards, business card holder and keyring? OH speaks french which is why i know what the email says! I don't recall entering for this (not really something I would need) and was wondering if it was a runner up or something like that

What do you think? I don't know if its genuine, or a scam

    Yeah, I got this in French too. It's exactly the same as the one in English which often appears in my spam folder. Ignore.

  • Hate the way a lot of their emails are titled 'Congratulations' ....... gets me going for a minute until I realise who it's from.
