yahoo! i've won a prize

I received an email a couple of days ago saying I've won a prize in a competition, thought it sounded weird cause i hadn't entered any and the fact they wanted me to email them and then they would tell me how to obtain my prize got me a little suspicious, this a copy of the first email from them

i emailed the website direct and it's right enough
i had subscribed (free) to the motorcycle-diaries.com initially just to check out the various routes/roads on it,However i noticed there were only 3 roads in Scotland so i thought i would put a few on, i managed to put 3 roads on it with a few pictures but there wasn't any mention of a competition anywhere i got another email today saying my gift is on it's way...don't know whats in the motul gift pack..probably a pen or a keyring i'll update once it arrives

 

Wow!!! i wasn't expecting this
4lt of the most expensive synthetic ester 10w40
can of insect remover
can of wash&wax
can of brake cleaner
can of wheel cleaner
can of helmet & visor cleaner
can of Air filter oil
2 quality key rings
1 t-shirt
pair of Rudy "Spinhawk" sunglasses..some of the moto gp guys wear them,I'll give them to my son
1 "suitsuit" case..googled it and it's over £100!!
1 waterproof rucksack,,quality item but a bit bright
Thanks to http://www.motorcycle-diaries.com/ i did put a link up when i joined so maybe someone else has won a box of goodies!

 

Cheers Ade,certainly a surprise as i didn't know I'd entered a competition..i reckon there's about £300 worth!

 

no excuse now!

 

Cheers Winglad,can't say i remember Hot Wheels,,i always wanted a scalextric when i was a kid..never got one though

 

I don't know if it was because i added a few routes or just because i registered,maybe they give out a prize to someone every so often,but there was no mention of a competition anywhere To use the website fully you have to register which involves entering your name and email address only,it's free to do this, so i've no idea how they make thier money like you i'm pretty suspicious about things like this,i read the terms and conditions first and nothing set any alarm bells off,and when i first got the email i did think it sounded dodgy so i didn't reply to it, but i went on the website and contacted them that way,the box came from Belgium as thats where they are based.also on the website there is pics of the folk involved with some info about them,it all seems to be legit, maybe they are just doing this as a hobby,but it is a bit confusing how they can manage to give away prizes like this,i did notice that it said one of the guys is in oil sales and marketing so maybe he has a connection with Motul? i must admit the trolly case,Waterproof rucksack and sunglasses are all top quality gear and my bike will be happy as it will be getting pampered with the Fully synthetic ester oil!
