I won a trip or did I?

[rozzie2005]

I am pretty sure this is a scam, but one never knows: Received this email:

You have won a trip to see OPRAH!

This offer includes free airfare to see the show. Simply visit this website http://obimbricate.com/oprah/.
Fill out the information, go through the steps and your on your way!
Thanks and be sure to have fun!


At the bottom there is this address - Gifts Tickets, 832 S. 11th St, #181, Niles, Mi 49120

Here is the weird thing - they offer a link that I can use if I want to stop the emails!
They also did not mention hotel accommodations.

This looks like one of those sites where you have to complete offers (in other words, "buy stuff") to get the prize. This is not a true sweepstakes, sorry.
