She'll Gas Card

[bobbie22]

Just had an email to say that I have won a $500 Shell gas card. Genuine or not?

[brian j john]

I've had one too and reported it as phishing

[bobbie22]

I was thinking of deleting it. I haven't clicked on anything. Just wondered. Thanks

Do you live in America Bobbie?

[bobbie22]

No. I wondered about that. I live in the West Country uk

Did you enter any competition where that was the prize? The number of lotteries i've won and haven't even entered..............

[sandra4444]

You always have to ask yourself if you have entered into anything that could have won you a gas card, if not then its needs to be ignored I would think.

[bobbie22]

It's very odd to win something with Dollars. I haven't entered anything, and I am reluctant to give people my email address also

[sandra4444]

Are you having us all on a bit??

[bobbie22]

Of course not Sandra. Why would you think that?

[sandra4444]

Common sense springs to mind may be?

[bobbie22]

If you are going to be rude you know what you can do !!!!

[Maydup]

If something seems too good to be true then I usually is. Unless you have entered a competition to win a US gas card then it’s a scam. Delete.

Do you have Shell service-stations in the UK?

[tonyav]

Yes we have Shell petrol stations in the UK, sanmac.

bobbie; we don't have 'gas' (meaning petrol) or dollars in the UK. That's a big giveaway, plus the fact that you haven't entered any competition to win the money. My advice is to mistrust any e-mail that seeks to persuade you that something good and unexpected has happened to you out of the blue; unless you actually know the person who is mailing you.
