Hi folks, was after your opinion on an email i have received from Visa promotions about claiming for a prize of Olympic tickets.
I vaguely recall having an earlier email which i think i spammed, this is what i received today:
Dear Claire
Your prize claim needs to reach us within 21 days of receiving your original winner's email. Don’t miss out on your place at London 2012 – we need to receive your completed claim form and proof of a Visa purchase (either uploaded or by post) within 14 days of receiving this email in order to send you your two event tickets to The Olympic Games.
To claim your prize, simply click on the link below and fill in your details.
so to click or not to click...that is the question?? Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

Try hovering your mouse over the link, and see what address appears at the bottom of your screen. If you are still in doubt, then call Visa.0

It's not that one hun, the email in the OP states 2 tickets not a family ticket - but then I could be wrong?Thanks to all posters :A0 -
Thanks for your suggestions......the link went to visa.co.uk so all genuine - I dont know what i have won because i deleted the original email because i thought it was a scam (lesson learned there!!) I just have to wait for prize info from Visa now.
I have searched and think it was either cornishpasty or poohbear that posted the competition, so huge thanks to you. Olympic tickets was my number one wish for a win this year so i cant tell you how over the moon i am....... jut to wait now and see what the tickets are!
so thanks again for the help, and to the OP's of this competition and all competitions - you are absolute stars xxx0 -
