I can't tell if it's real or not


I'm so confused i get excited but I'm scared to click on anything thinking I will get a virus on my new computer. Can anyone help?

Real prize notifications do not address them to "[email protected]". They use your real name. They also don't have you click on some link going to some obscure webpage.

Prize notifications request you reply directly to the email or fill out an attachment to mail, fax, or email in. They also supply you with the person's name of whom is contacting you and their direct contact information including the company name.

The subject line will also have an appropriate heading.

:headbang: lidarkside is totally correct and her advise on spotting a real winning email is right on. It really is difficult starting out sorting thru some of these, but never hesitate to ask before sending out your information. Someone is almost always available to help you. Best of luck to you in getting a real winning message!
