Why would they need to send you a consolation prize of a laptop if you'd won that much money????

Just delete it.

Thanks for posting though. If I get a 'lucky':rolleyes: email like that I can dispose of it too. I would put it in the competition scams sticky here to warn other folks as well.

Good luck for the decent comps though.:D
