spam AXA emails

I've been entering the AXA european city break/voucher competition: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4796641 and have just recieved 2 spam emails supposedly from SECRETARIAT AXA - both equally dodgy and I'm not opening any attachments :D however I just wondered if anyone else got this, who had entered the competition, or whether they were just random

from Jennifer Sanchez:

Receive our sincere greetings, as we tend towards the end of this year 2013.

On the occasion of the year for the approach, the AXA Group - INSURANCE set up an Internet game in order to reward the users happy.

If you receive this e-mail, you are lucky and you have a surprise attached as Exhibit attached reserved.

and from Michel KOHLER

    Yes there was one in my spam folder today from that email but I didn't open it.

    A huge thank you to all who post the comps and deals that make life so much fun!

    I've been entering and have received 3 of these over the last few days, I just deleted them.

    A couple of days ago I also had a genuine looking email from AXA thanking me for entering the competition and saying I was in the draw. I only had this once despite entering everyday since the start.

    If you haven't already, it might be a good idea to notify AXA about this, in case someone less savvy gets caught out. I'm sure they'd want to know if someone is phishing in their name.

    I'm getting them but I haven't entered the competition, if that helps.
  • I haven't entered that comp you mentioned and I had one in my Spam box this morning.

    I've had one too but also not entered any Axa comp. I didn't open it either as it looks very dodgy.
