Potential Scam WEM

Eas

I've had a couple of WEM's in my spam folder one saying my name is one of four to win a £250 Ikea Voucher, just follow this link to confirm your position, I haven't followed the link as it seems really suspicious. The one I received today saying you may be one of 3 people who might have won £10,000 to spend on whatever you like, again just follow this link to confirm your entry.

The start of the link is:

http://go.shoppersmail.net

I haven't clicked it as it just seems too suspicious, the thing is, it shows my full name and address on the email. I've entered enough comps so this is probably easy to find anywhere.

Just wondering if anyone else has had these emails and warning anyone that might get them in the future.

You can certainly get rid of the one for £10,000 "you may" as well as "possible winner" etc are all junk ones.

Yes, that was a scam, and was made worse.

Another poster who had been contacted by phone by the same company, discovered an account had been set up on their website for him using personal details that had to have been bought from somewhere.

Although I'd only been contacted by e-mail they'd done the same in my case and I was able to scrmble all my details they held.

But thanks for the warning about this latest one, Eas.
