Heart attack narrowly avoided

So, you filter your emails into a "win" folder, and notice there's an email in there ...

"£250K Blue Play With Us winner - congratulations!"

"Hi there,

Thank you for taking part in our live £250K Blue giveaway on Twitter!
"

"You were the very lucky winner ..."

About to call an ambulance ...

"of the #BlueBoxPlease competition where you won a £250,000 Blue Scratch card – congratulations!"

And RELAX.

:)
