Samsung Promotion Prize: Is it a Scam?

[0m3n]

Just got an email from "aburbach@promotionsbysamsung.com"

Claiming that I won some Samsung Earbuds and when you go to the website it sends you to "Trymarkpromotions.com" which seems to be linked to Samsung according to Samsungs website. How do I know for sure if this is legit? 

They are asking for:

Name: First/ Last

Address:

Phone #:

DOB:

Its strange because I did enter a Samsung giveaway recently. Wonder if the review I wrote leaked my email

Call samsung and ask them directly about it

Thats possible. But It's very easy to get information these days. Email sender can even see if you open an email to better target you with ads, so most likely they just had your email and sent it.

Also, since you clicked the link, I would advise changing your samsung account password and maybe even Google account password.

I get targeted scams on one of my phones CONSTANTLY. I almost fell for it the 1st time. It's a work phone so I was less careful but still decided against it. Thankfully I did because now I get them weekly.

There was no link, they just asked for name, address, DOB, phone #
