Is this a Scam?

« on: February 27, 2008, 01:29:18 AM »

I received an email wanting me to confirm my info for a digital camera,webcam and camcorder set. The response was from Computer--Giveaway.com. It states package is fully paid but it doesn't state from what contest and before I click to confirm I would like to know if there is a catch i.e. unexpected costs and if this is bogus. On any other win there wasn't a question of where it originated. Any help is greatly appreciated. Smile

Can't say 100% without seeing the email, but sounds very, very scammy. Did you check the headers on the email to see where it was actually from? Be careful with this one. Smile

Sorry to say, but I think it is probably a scam. When I do a search for computer--giveaway.com I get that it is on a blacklist for spam. According to: http://www.joewein.de/sw/dbl-update/2005-01-02.htm
If it doesn't feel quite right it probably isn't. Trust your instincts.
