Advice please - email from My Offers

Hi all

I am hoping for some advice from all you lovely more experienced people! I have had an email form My Offers as follows:

Hello ********!

Congratulations! You have just been nominated to be our possible winner!
We are happy to announce that you are one of our lucky three selected to win an Apple product:
1. Name 1
2. My Name
3. Name 3

It then asks me to click on one fo three links to select whether I would like an Apple iMac, iPhone or iPad.

Is this genuine or not?

Thanks for any help and advice!

  • Nah, it's junk I'm afraid. The phrase 'possible winner' gives it away.

    Hope a real win turns up for you soon. x

  • Same here too. I hate these kind of emails, making you think you might win when all the time they no full well that you definitely won't - they should be banned from sending them.

    I dont know but i'm guessing they will sell your address on to third parties and you will get LOADS of junk mail, thats just a guess though.
    Good luck in all your comps x :)
