Hi, please could you experts out there help.

I've had an email saying I won this :eek:...
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2886546

It asks me to reply with my name/add/phone number before they can send the release form.

The only thing that makes me sceptical is the email address it came from is... @sympatico.ca which on searching seems like anybody can sign up for.

I expected to come on here and find that everybody who entered had had the same email and it be a scam, but can't find anything. What do you rek, it it legit - should I send my details??

Thanks in advance. :)

  • Congrats - looks fine to me.

    They're only asking for name, address and phone number so thats not too big a risk.

    Enjoy your holiday

  • If you don't want to give out your address details, you could always ask them to call you to give those - that way you can speak to someone?
