I'd report it saying that I'm not entirely sure what it's about but you don't want to get further in to find out just in case they're a scammer...or something like that

Any neomail that you get that isn't from TNT or someone you know is some random user contacting you. If they say you won, then it's possibly a scam or some naive teen doing... something. I never understood the whole giveaway thrill.

The best way to know it isn't TNT is the fact that "take" is spelt without an "E".

I do understand there are some 'geniuses' there, but stuff like that is sent via an automailer, in which it would be spelt right.

...and spell check says "spelt" is spelt wrong. XD

I don't know why everyone thinks that I thought this e-mail was from TNT. I've received plenty of messages from them and I've been playing the site long enough to know that this obviously is not a message from them. This is just from a random user I've never spoken to. I just wanted an opinion on whether people think this should be forwarded to TNT as a scam, or contest, or something along those lines.

n_n << Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

Probably so. You never know nowadays, but something like that's considered a scam.

Thanks for all of the responses. I have contacted TNT regarding the message as they will obviously know what is best.

DM, sorry about that post I made yesterday. I just re-read it and it sounded pretty harsh, which isn't me. Hugs for DM's help!
