A question about : Just had an email from Ziinga.com
I have just had an email from Ziinga.com saying I have won a free I-pod. It just asks for my name and address details. Am I right to be suspicious? Thanks for any help.
Here is a link to where they want my details
https://www.ziinga.com/uk/addresses/add_shipping
Best answers:
- Well Im not even clicking that link have you done it yet ?
- Yes I've clicked it. It just asks for name and address.
Where do you want us to deliver your product?
Name: *
Address (line 1): *
City / State: *
Post Code / Zip Code: *
Country: *
Phone: - That just takes you to a page asking you to register or do you get different because you are logged in?
- Do you remember entering a competition then if not check that they are a legite site by putting there full name into here :
https://www.domainwhoisinfo.com check the parent or owner of the wbsite and then just google to see if there details come up as a scam - It says where do you want us to deliver your product. i am logged in. I must have previously registered on that site, though I can't recall it. I'm thinking of using my rental address and seeing if my I-pod arrives!
