I received this message Tuesday and was so excited to have won and replied with my choice and thanked them. This AM I received this message. I am not sure if it means I have to buy my prize and they will reimburse me.

Hope you are doing well! Congratulations on being the 1st winner of this challenge. As a winning gift, you will be receiving $100 worth of products from our amazon store. Here are the product details and you can choose any one combo from the list given below:
This is their reply after I chose the combo.
Sure. Please send us your Paypal ID. We can reimburse you the cost of combo 1. Once you receive the price, you can order those on Amazon.
 
That is confusing. Are they asking for your paypal so they can send you the $100 and then you are supposed to order the items on Amazon with that money? If so, just take the $100!
 
Never pay to win any prize ... it is a scam ... never give paypal/amazon/etc info.
They have huge hits from fake scammers.
NEVER, EVER hit the reply key or open ANY attachment.
Do NOT hit the "unsubscribe" box.
Block any that you receive in your inbox.
 
It sounds like they want your paypal addy so they can send you the funds to buy the combo you chose. I suspect English is not their first language, so the wording is a little clunky. I've received prizes via paypal many times; unless you give them your password (which they didn't ask for) they couldn't defraud you even if they wanted to.

I asked them if I could just get the 100.00 paypal. They insisted that I would have to order first and send them the receipt. I am not accepting the prize.
