Had an email from Black Jack Ballroom Casino (BlackJack Ballroom (info@lifesg.net) saying that I have been selected as this weeks winner of £500.
It came up in a flashy shiney box.
In one box it says if your name appears below you have just won £500 for free.
Below that is my email.
Email subject was:
Important – Notice of Winnings
then it says collect your £500 free now
Any suggestions. It came up in my junk email section but sometimes wins do that.

I've been recieving at least 1 email from these people on a daily basis, but have never gone to the site because I never entered a competition with them, and it looked like a scam.0
