Scam or real win?

Had an email from tgm@lifeinsideasnowglobe.com. Not sure if it's a scam. When I click on the link to select a prize my phone is warning me it might be unsafe. Any ideas?

Does it give you any details of the prize/what the competition was for?
Most winning emails come from an individual/specific team, and you directly reply to the email.
I would be cautious about anything that asks you to click a linkComping wins 2022: 115 (£12,109)

Looks scammy, nothing really showing on google searches for that email address either0

I can't find a competition on here related to that company, it also doesn't seem to exist much on search engines.
I would be very wary, especially as they want you to click a link, you often just have to verify your address and occasionally phone number if it is being posted out to you.
If you can't recall entering a competition for something that it may be and can't find any evidence that you entered it, then I would imagine you didn't.
I would say you could reply and ask more questions to find out if it is genuine, by asking which company they are messaging from and which competition it was etc. You could just say that the link didn't work BUT if you reply to scam emails, they are then aware that your email address is active, so they might bombard you.Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.0
