So I have already been scammed once this week and I'm wondering if I have been scammed again or if this is real!
So I entered a facebook competition to win a phone through Carphone Warehouse (you just comment on their picture ) then I had a facebook message todayfrom someone called 'Natalie Lousie Todd' saying
Hi Kirsty, I am writing on behalf of Carphone Warehouse! You're the winner of our Samsung S3 Mini. Pop me your address, and we'll send the prize
But looking on her facebook page it says she works for a place called 'Cake' and there has been no announcement of the winner on their page?
Just want to know what you all think :-)

It looks like Cake are a PR company; I wonder if they are responsible for the contacting the winners.
No harm in replying with your address, that's what I would do.
ETA: Just double checked and Carphone Warehouse are a client of Cake, see here

So glad your prize is legit:T, not nice being scammed:("If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you. "
