Scam, I assume??

  • Just received one of these e-mails and my worry is that they know my name.
    Most spam, phishing e-mails are obviously from someone who randomly generates e-mail addresses, these people are targeting directly :( so possibly more likely to con people?

    It is a scam but the wording gives it away...

    You are a "possible" winner.
    2017 wins = £1350
    2016 wins = £125 (18 months off comps)
    2015 wins = £6,460
    2014 wins = £1,350
  • I had the same email in my junk items. Going to ignore it.
    Wishing everyone the best of luck. :)

    Wins since July 2014: Spa break and fake tan, Nikon D5300 kit, two tickets to Grand Designs Live, Original Source shower gel, tickets to Festive Gift Fair, a pair of smart wool socks, Frozen DVD and CD, a trip to Oslo, a Braun shaver and £150 Amazon vouchers. :)
  • I have also been getting the same spam emails as the ones mentioned in the forum and also other ones from the same company New Approach Media Ltd. my problem is trying to get rid of them.
    I have contacted the company but have had no reply as yet but still get between 8 - 12 spam emails a day from them.:mad:
  • I got sick of the spam and finally found a contact number - 01237 426558. I rang them and requested to be removed.

    I then received an email from a Lee Bennett to inform me that I'd been removed. Nothing malicious, I think they are just bad at list management.
