Email from Warehouse, Pabo.com Scam?

Options
Hello

Just wondering if anyone has recieved this email? It is second time i have recieved it in past 2 weeks and sounds like a scam but not sure as pabo.com is coming up as a registered site. Iv searched on here and cant find any compettions and it doesnt actually say i have won anything just free gift up to value of £500 bieng anyone of 4 packages... sounds a bit dodgy to me? Anyone else recieved this

Also sounds a bit vague as not specifically addressed to me.

The delivery note for one of these four packages has already been created!
All we need is your confirmation!
Dear sir, madam,

One of the gift boxes in our warehouse is yours absolutely free and is awaiting shipment. All you need to do is complete your address information

    In my humble opinion, if it,s not not actually addressed to you then I wouldn,t give them your details as they might just be fishing for new custom

    I agree, as it's not actually addressed to you and not specific about the prize I'd be cautious too.
    The fact such companies exist isn't always proof. All the major banks, paypal, ebay etc regularly email me telling me there's a problem with my account or similar!
    May be worth going onto Warehouse or Pabo sites, (or even their Facebook pages if you use it,) and asking. if they have an email contact you could forward it to, so much the better.
    However, I'd love to think it was a lovely win for you :)
