I would say it is.
'Chance to win' rings alarm bells for me. If you have won, then you have won and they would say that.0 -
Looks like spam to me but could be wrong?0

Definitely spam. The 'chance to win' bit is a giveaway to me, personally.2019 Wins

Congratulations - you are eligible to enter a competition to win xxxxxx.
SPAM!0 -
Anything that says 'chance' or 'participation' is always spam.
Any comps you enter will not send you anything like that,
it will always read - Congrats you HAVE or well done for winning or similar, but always double check by typing the companys name or www address into google.
The latest one i seem to be getting is from MANCHESTER UNITED saying ive won £1.2 million pounds.
Hmm dont remember entering that, funny how the address corresponds to a marketing company and their 'call us direct at sir matt busby way (real address) is a phone number that start 01707 hmm manchester is 0161 area code.
You will know if you have won a real prize because you will remember entering it.Still comping, after 2 heart attacks 4th feb & 6th feb, and a stent put in.. 45 years old only:eek:0 -
Defo spam..I smile because I have absolutely no idea what's going on:dance:0

My most recent win was this very concise email:Congratulations,I went and it was good!
You have won a pair of tickets for the show in Aylesbury on May 9. They will be there for you at the box office.
Enjoy the gig.
(I ended up going alone, so I gave the other ticket to someone there, and he bought me a beer. Job's a good 'un...)
