Is this legit?

Hi all

Just checking out my junk mail and found a wem from Ryan at F1 Times saying I won a Pirelli goody bag. Having checked my thanks I have entered this comp so replied to the email with my details.

I've had a failure notice bounce back though. Looking at his email address it was from a .com address whereas the website seems to be .co.uk

With this and the fact it came to my junk mail and wasn't a personalised email (just began 'Evening') - can I trust this is legit?

On the face of it it's a nice win - so thanks OP!

Please let me know what you think guys.

    The contact address on their website is a .com as well

    What did the bounceback say, it might be mailbox full? I would email a different address/post on their facebook to find out. I think it's probably legit, a pirelli goodie bag isn't the kind of thing a spam email would make up :)
