    "you have been selected to win an ipad" or wording to that effect is fairly common, is yours in that style?

    Did you enter the competition?

    Do you know which competition it's supposedly from?

    Does it ask for any personal information?

    What's the wording of the email (minus any personal/identifiable details)
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    They do the surveys on behalf of big companies , same as pr companies do, fairly legit i think, Im guessing the email is just asking for your address?

    but if its from safecount itself i thought they were open to the us only
