Scam?

[Jhot]

<p>ello</p><p>Well, experience has told me that this kind of email is a scam, but you know, it is weird how "real" it looks.</p><p>Anyway, if it is fake, then be aware, if not, then it will be the first time in my life i win something without entering any contest <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" /></p><p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial Narrow;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: ">Hello and Congratulations on your win!! In order to award your prizes I will need your <a href="http://station.com/" target="_blank">station.com</a> username.

<p>This is a valid person who works here. I used to do her job and had to send out similar emails, so I'm pretty sure it's legit. However I'm going to remove her info from public sight so she doesn't get spammed in return. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Did you enter the contest over at Pat's Fantasy Hotlist blog? This sounds like the prize for that contest.</p>

<p>Actually, I see that you did win. In case you didn't see the winners list, <a href="http://fantasyhotlist.blogspot.com/2009/11/sony-online-entertainment-contest.html" target="_blank">click here</a>.</p><p>Congrats! Just send her back an email with the requested info and you'll get a free 6 months added to your account. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Well, it is a relief to know that this is a legit email <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> No problem if you remove the personal details <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. The problem is that i do not remember having entered in any contest or similar, and the last thing i want is to take over a prize I have not won.</p><p>I think i will reply back asking for some more info on this <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I was told by TSR Robert to post in this thread (Hope i'm not necroing it to bad if so i apoligize)  I have also won a station sony 6 month pass.  But no access was given to my account. </p><p>He (TSR Robert) had no idea this promo or contest whichever you perferr was going on so he asked that i post here and contact someone in the community to see whats going on with my account xD  If someone could give me some information i'd appreciate it =)  Been over a month now =P</p><p>EDIT: I last contacted Brittany and was told i was cut off for information?  I'm not sure whats going on and where my information i sent has went... which included Real First and Last name, E-mail, Station Username, and Snail Mail Address.  I admit i am a bit concerned now that it's been a month with no more information being given to me</p>
