Is Freestuff.eu legitimate

Hey guys,

I'm new to comping started less than a week ago so apolgoies if this is in the wrong place. Also just wanna say thanks to everyone that posts links to comps with answer etc there seems to be a great sense of community here!!

So my question is, are Freestuff.eu legitimate? I got a mail into my spam saying:

Congratulations from Swooosh! You've Been Selected to Win an Apple iMac!
Hello Mark Mccolgan!

Congratulations - You are our possible winner!

Click here

We are happy to announce that you are one of our lucky selected few to win an Apple iMac:
1. Louise Tyler
2. Mark Mccolgan

When I click it brings me to their website and asks me yes or no if i want to join a whole load of websites and companies I said no to all and they said my entry had been submitted.

Just wanna see if it's legit or not.

Thanks!!

    hi, usually anything with 'you are a possible winner'
    in is usually spam.
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png




  • Thanks for the replies.

    Normally would have taken it as spam just with entering so many comps thought this might have been a normal thing oh well.

    Thanks again!

    Hi I know this isn't the place but could someone help? I can't message or post a new thread, a message comes up saying something about the message being too short and needs to be 10 characters.
