Got a Spam email from winning an iPad2 from "Gmail, Inc"
Email is as follows:
----------------------
Important Notice Regarding Your Gmail Account,
We recently teamed up with Apple for a one-time promotional event today and are giving away free Apple iPads to randomly selected people who have an email account with Gmail. You have been selected as one of our newest winners for this promotion. We randomly choose numbers to match up with Gmail addresses and your email address matched with our latest drawing.
We partnered up with Apple to advertise their hottest product yet, the Apple iPad 3. In order for them to make room for the iPad 3, they are clearing out current inventory of the iPad 2. Part of this process involves offering promotional giveaways in order to help promote the new iPad. To claim your free iPad simply type into your web browser ( GmailRewards-Winner8 ) followed by (.com).
We purposefully omitted the rewards website link due to security reasons, thus, you will need to manually type in the web address. During our last promotion we had many unauthorized individuals claim rewards that were not meant for them by using a method called "link hijacking" whereby a virus would redirect any link contained in your email to someone else. As such, many of the actual winners had never received the rewards link at all. Our new rewards system is much more secure now by allowing, only you, to see this email and have access to unique website address above. Once you arrive at our rewards website, simply enter your email address so we can locate our records to guarantee that we have reserved one for you. That's it!
In case you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me directly. We do suggest you claim your iPad first to ensure one will be set aside for you before the deadline ends. You may possibly receive this email after the deadline ends. However, we highly recommend you enter your email anyway to see if yours is still on hold. During our last promotion we had several unclaimed iPads because others hadn’t claimed theirs in time and they never checked back after the deadline.
Congratulations on winning our Apple iPad 2 Giveaway.
