Catch PR?

I've had a notice of "Mary Catchpr" saying I've won their competition. It looks like a fake profile (FB) "Mary Catchpr" is a 'normal' profile (add as friend)(which I have not) so I looked up catch pr and their page is one where you click 'like' (which I haven't) & they haven't run a competition (although they do make promotional goods so it could be from something else?) it just looks dodgy so I'm not responding (she's asking for address) Has anyone else ever been contacted by catch pr or Mary catchpr? Is this a new form of spam?

    Catch PR is a legit company : http://catchpr.co.uk/

    Maybe send them an email ( or give them a call : 01255 860976) via the website and ask if Mary Catchpr is associated with them. They do social marketing so it's not unreasonable to assume they're managing a competition for one of their clients.
