I received the following email today which I dearly hope is legitimate however I have a strong suspicion that it's not and would like options please:
Hi ...........,
You are possibly the winner of a brand new iPhone 6, but we have been unable to get in contact with you.
Is this still the email address of "..............."?
If yes, we kindly ask you to verify your information in the link below.
It is important that we get your answer latest within 24 hours, or the next person on our list will receive this opportunity instead.
Then it provides a link to click on to verify your details which says verify your details here Megan (only my name is not Megan, though my name was correct in the rest of the text) and finishes best regards Jack Roberts

What do you think?

Sorry to say it's spam, the fact it says "you are possibly the winner"

Even though after a quick google I'd agree with it being spam, don't think the same of every email that comes with that line!Sorry to say it's spam, the fact it says "you are possibly the winner"
I won a mini fridge with Match and it said:Congratulations! You've been selected as a possible winner of WIN A LIVERPOOL MINI FRIDGE!
On this occasion they had to check I met the T&Cs.Thanks to all posters :A0
