    It looks a little bit spammy to me but not sure:o

    Nut, can I firstly suggest you remove the link - even though it's a code, it takes you to a web page which has your personal details in it

    Secondly, that page also contains a footnote:
    *Your subscription includes a 14 days membership at AmorDating.co.uk for £1, which can easily be cancelled. Please note that the membership will continue as a subscription unless it is cancelled within the first 14 days.
    The price for a membership is £35 which is charged monthly in advance by credit card. Remember to approve your welcome gift within 14 days or you will automatically lose the right to this cf. our terms


    So, you get your "free" phone that you won, then you pay £35 a month for it. You can get an iPhone for less!
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?
