Hi guys,

I was just playing an online game: Crossword Jam. It sent me a message offering me, as a loyal customer, a chance to win an IPhone. To cut it short, I did win one, but they wanted me to pay £1 for postage. I was suspicious, but less so than usual, because it came from within a game that I've been playing for ages, and got from a legitimate source - Amazon. I know these scams are around, but it was so tempting.

I just wanted to share this with you all. I have a feeling MSE has a section for scams, if so, I'll post it there too. I've also contacted the game's company to warn them.

THIS IS ME!
