SinusRelief "prize" or spam??

(From this comp)

A couple of weeks back I received the following, perfectly normal looking, email:

"Hello

I’m pleased to let you know that you are one of the lucky winners of the NeilMed Sinus Rinse Relief offer you entered on talkhealth.

I will now pass on your email address to NeilMed who will contact you directly in order to organise distribution of your sample kits of Sinus Rinse Isotonic (with a £3 voucher to redeem off of further purchases). You have 28 days to claim your prize after they have contacted you, as per our competition rules.

Kind regards
Karen Jones"

Now I just *happened* to be glancing through my spam folder just now, and came across a VERY spammy looking email from NeilMed, which I'm not sure whether to respond to!! If it's their idea of "contacting me directly" I'm not very impressed with it, and it seems to require me to register with this NeilMed company which I am very loath to do, the layout of the mail is quite unprofessional and just screams spam at me!!
Did anyone else receive this, and do you plan to go ahead and claim or just forget about it? (I'm thinking the latter)

I would say spam, seems odd that the people who offered the prize aren't able to send it directly and require you to get in touch with another company.

Oww guess I was wrong then, it just seem to me like such a suspicious way of going about sending out a prize.

Thought it looked okay too, seems to have been confirmed as legit by bella. I've often dealt with two companies re wins.

A week or so ago I won a prize through talkhealth and had a similar email from the same person.

Thanks, but it's not the email from Karen Jones that I'm concerned about, it was the one from NeilMed, it didn't show up in full in my post but it looked well weird!

Hello It's real,

If you read on some of the competitions that are live at the moment they actually say the prize will come from the company supplying them

Congratulations
