Did I just win a 2GB iPod Nano?

    I just got an email that said this -
    What do I do?
    I don't remember signing up for any contest. I did register/buy CuteFTP, but that was a month or two ago.

    Contact them, this looks legit!
    (you can always check the email headers to see if it came from the domain)

    If you don't want it though, I'd be happy to take it off your hands...

    :) I checked the "details" on Gmail (is that headers? ) and it says mailed-by: globalscape.com

    Also why I am questioning it is because I don't see anything on their website about it, nor does Google show any good results for it.

    Oh ya, I emailed back asking if he needed my phone number or address (I didn't know what to say :))

    Just make sure you don't pay in advance for anything and you should be just fine. Congrats, I just got the new Nano myself and it's fantastic!

    I would also let him know that you weren't even aware of the promotion, he'll be able to explain if there was a miscommunication

    Then tell him they are wrong, the price was an iPod + an iTunes voucher for $200.

    Congratulations!

    Looks like you got something you didn't expect, and enjoying it!

    Isn't that a 'present'?

    If you don't need the Ipod, don't worry there are many considerate DPers who will take that burden off your shoulders. Like me for instance.

    Congrats and merry Christmas!

    Yeah I'm not sure if I want to keep it or sell it. The only time I could maybe see myself using it is when I ride my bike, but I can't do that until spring, and even then I might not use it. I have a CD player in my car, and a computer and surround system in my bedroom, so where else could I listen to music:confused:
    It feels great to actually win something though :D
