They did run a competition to win an ipad mini,it was a newsletter signup which ended in January, I would give her your phone number in case its that.
They cant do an awful lot with a phone number

Looks dodgy to me. It's been forwarded for a start. Subject is badly worded. 'Great news' is that they probably have some nice expensive products to sell you. They just need your number first.
Nowhere does it say that you've actually won anything.
Worth emailing back before handing out number.2018 wins: Hong Kong holiday0 -
Does it address you by name?
Have you checked that the email it's being sent from is clearly the email of Mary-Anne Blowman / the company?
Was it sent to multiple recipients?
These are things I look for, when trying to decide if something is spam.0 -
