I just found an email in my junk folder which congratulated me on winning an Ipad.
I didn't believe it but I opened it and it said " Congratulations! You are our possible winner! We are happy to announce that you are one of our lucky selected to win an Apple iPad 2
in your favourite colour:
Click here
Good luck!
Your iPad 2 winner Team"
It also included another 2 names of the "possible" winners.
I haven't clicked on the link, don't intend to do so, but just wanted to double check with you that my suspicions were correct and this is just a scam/virus/spyware monger site.
What do you think?
ps I forgot to say, it's from this email address ChosenWinner@tubafriable.com

I've just deleted an email which was word-for-word the same, my name was in second place.
I never click on email links which simply say "click here" - a reputable company tell you in advance where you're going.
This is just my guess, but I would expect to find a premium phone number at the end of the link which would charge a fortune just to tell me I'd won a paperclip or something! :cool:20p Savers Club #1020 -

Yeah, I just wanted to triple check, just in case....
