I received an email saying "we were unable to send the Braun oral b electric toothbrush that you got in our draw". Therefore,we need you to confirm your details one more time" then there's a link to follow, just wanted to see if anyone else has had this as I don't want to be clicking something I will regret, it's from diamonddeals . Co . Uk

don't hold me to it, but I have typed in that website and there doesn't appear to be a site called that - if you google it it only comes up with diamonddealsonline.co.uk and that is a jewellery website with no mention of competitions - and it would seem a bit odd for a website like this to give away a toothbrush?
My hunch is its a scam, but others will advise too I am sure, so see what others say!April 2014: A CAR!!!!!! :j 60th Anniversary Edition of Playboy mag signed by Hugh Hefner/Family pass to Twinlakes Family Theme Park/Rio 2 Goodies/£15 Promod Voucher/Nivea Sensitive Prize pack/John Frieda Cosmetic bag and bits/Tickets to New Kids On The Block + Meet and Greet0 -

Scam is what I'm leaning towards too, I remember entering a competition for a toothbrush but can't for the life of me remember which site, this one does seem fishy though
Think I will delete it then, thanks guysWins: Cushelle Koala, Mama tea bundle, coconut ice cream recipe book0 -
I had this email as well. You can only claim the toothbrush if you pay £1 to get a few weeks membership to something, which automatically starts taking money for the membership after those two weeks if you don't cancel. Very suspicious to me so I think I will keep the toothbrush I am currently using.
I'm guessing that contacting them to cancel the subscription might be a bit difficult. Anyway I'm not giving them my bank details.
They also sent me an email a few minutes before offering me £20 Tesco vouchers.0 -
I get one of these emails every few days I'm afraid, I'd be shocked if it wasn't just spam.0
