I received the following e-mail today.

From: mickeymouse11@mouseticketz5.com

Subject: Diane

Congratulations; Diane  You have won a trip to Disney! Sometime ago you signed up at one of our free offer giveaway sites. This email is to notify you that when you submitted the following information: (my name, e-mail, city & state)   You have won an all expense paid trip for two to Disney. Please update your information at the winner's site and we will promptly ship out your Disney tickets.
Thanks, Sue Madden
Travel Getaways, Inc.

I clicked on the link, (probably shouldn't have now that I think of it) and it took me to a page that was an entry form for a supposed contest "Disney Daytona Getaway".

Anyone know if this for real or was it a scam?

Thanks, Diane

It definitely isn't from a sweepstakes.  Notice that it states that you signed up for an "offer".

I did some searching and found info posted at other sites. Seems a lot of people have gotten this same e-mail and it sounds like it's some kind of timeshare ploy. (That's Ok I'm headed to Disneyworld on my own in September, I can't wait!)
