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

  • 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!
