win confusion (googled my name)

ok Just googled my name and saw my name and email on a website along with other past winners as having won jewelery.
Thing is i didn't start comping until July yet the win state it was won in march. am thinking this is a scam even checked their website and facebook page both seem legit but my gut says otherwise (not sure as a newbie if i can post links on here)
could i be advised?

    Is your name really common?
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Contact them and say you are following up your competition win as you would have expected to have received it by August

    I was gonna say that it might be the same name as yours but not necessarily you. Lots of instances where people have thought they've won but is someone else with the same name.

    If it says you've "won jewelery" I'd be suspicious as spelling mistakes are a sure sign of a scam.

    They shouldn't show your email address - it's a breach of data protection laws.
