Now then, I'm practically certain these are from scammers. I've tried clicking on them to read the whole notifications, but can't find them. I definitely have entered this competition, but it says it closes on 30th Nov, with obviously makes it even more likely to be a scam.

Gear4Music is a UK company based in York.
