Have i won !!!!

Hi fellow compers

I had an e-mail in my junk box this morning saying I have won a 7 day holiday in Italy for 2 but I have to register.

The e-mail address it came from was [EMAIL="lifestyleoffers@ionmx.com"]lifestyleoffers@ionmx.com[/EMAIL]

I think this is not a win just because of the fact you have to registre to claim your prize, im new to this so maybe one of you know different.

  • Hiya, I had a similar email, but I had not entered a competition for this holiday, so deleted mine, but some more experienced mses may be able to give you more advice.

    hi Sheena82

    welcome to the fun of comping, hope you have lots of wins :)

    i got this email too, but it was to an email account that i have not used for competitions for over 2 years so i guess its just my email being sold on & on & on over time that i get the occasional junk mail in the inbox

    the real clue to whether the comp prize is genuine or not is the fact that they ask you to register and pay £20 for admin/registration costs !

    just remember the golden rule - any geuine prize giving company will not ask for money at all

    HTH [hope this helps] ;)
