Hi Olleenz, Because there are really a lot of scam online. We can't really avoid them. They will surely go on like that entering our mails and sending us some spam messages. I don't really open those kind of emails...it will always end up being deleted without even reading it. I remember I won an Iphone before...but I am sure that it was just fooling me around. I really hope no one got victimized with this scam messages. Have a nice day!

hackers can get your email from anywhere especially if you sign up for a lot of work at home jobs. some are true scams and re sell your email address for money to other copmanies who will spam you to see if they can get you to purchase or something. At least that is what I think would probably have happend

Well,congrats on your good fortune I hope you enjoy your new iPod ShuffleThat email is just spam to get you to go to their website. They probably got your email from some other website you register at or a survey you might of did.

This is an old marketing ploy that irritates me a lot. There should be some laws against these. It's still a form of deception. As for knowing your email, well, I guess they got it in one of your online transactions. You could report the email as spam so that it's filtered out. At least, messages from email address wouldn't land in your inbox anymore. Although they could use another email address to send these unwanted mails.

i'm 90% sure that you mail has been sold to them by some 3rd person/site that you registered on anorther time and this is a scam site that only want you to register to get your personal details. in my case this kind of mails go directly to the trash can

Ha ha ha, but Congratulation dude I think, they use random email, collecting contact from the people who joining in their system. Even, I got messages from Coca-Cola, Yahoo, and Western Union, that I won one million in lottery or something like that, they ask me to provide my personal data, but I never response to those kind of emails. It was marked as spammer.
