in I won! I won! I won!
Hi guys! I'm quite new to comping, and just received this message;

Congratulations! You have been picked as a runner up! You have won 2 bottles of new Black Tower Pink Bubbly 2010 and the very latest Sony KDL-24EX320 24” integrated wifi LED browser tv set.

from a glamour online competition apparently!
As i've never won before I don't really know how to tell whether it's real or just spam? and i've searched for the comp but couldn't find it!!

just wanted your advice?

thanks :)

and if it is real, MASSIVE thanks to whoever posted it!

    Hi

    It looks like the runner up prize in a comp that MoneySavingMakesMyDay posted on 9 June (don't know how to post links, sorry).

    What a brilliant start to comping, well done and enjoy your prizes! :j
