I'm very excited as I have just received the following e-mail from a legitimate looking telegraph e-mail address:


Dear Winner,

Congratulations you are the winner of the Jaegar Warwick bag Stella Loves competition.

The prize donor will be in contact with you shortly to make the necessary arrangements.

I hope you have a wonderful trip.

Regards,

Laureen Toussaint


I have a few concerns:

Do you think its genuine?
Can anyone help on which comp it is as I can't work it out?
I'm away for the next 5 days and am worried they might call or e-mail and I can't reply, will I lose the prize?

Any thoughts or help appreciated.

:j:jPotentially my first win in 18 months!!!!:j:j

    Firstly congratulations! That looks absolutely fine to me its a genuine email address and stella loves is part of the telegraph.

    I would email them back to say thank you and explain you aren't here for the next few days and if they would be able to call you when you get back?

    I would also remove the email address from here incase someone else tries to claim it.

    Enjoy your prize!
