I have a direct message on Instagram saying that I have won a prize (butterfly sweatshirt) but I have to sign up to a website in order to get it and in order to get a friend of mine to win too. It states:

How does everyone feel about this? I feel it's a bit dodgy but I would appreciate those of whom have won stuff on Instagram to offer their experienced opinions. Been entering comps on IG all the time, for several years, but I have never won anything on the site. This doesn't feel genuine to me, what say all of you? Huge gratitude for any advice, many thanks 🙏

That shows exactly why MSE do not allow shortened links, that one could take you anywhere 😮 Yes, do not touch it, even with Misslayed's bargepole. What comp was it?Bob0

This was the prize, I couldn't find the original giveaway pic and post. I'm not good with Instagram, and when it comes to sharing to stories, well that just confuses me, so I don't enter those ones.

I don't use Instagram and don't know a great deal about it. I suppose it was the comp here:
Perhaps you could message the genuine one and let them know about this.Bob1 -
