Is this a scam?
I went to Tom's Hardware website and they were having a drawing for a motherboard. I don't know if I indeed won it or is it just a scam.
Anyway here is the email they sent me in it's entirety. "Molly Bergen mbergen@techmedianetwork.com 8:03 PM (22 hours ago) to me Hey James, Congratulations on behalf of Bestofmedia Group for winning the GIGABYTE G1.Sniper 5 Motherboard Giveaway! Please send me your full address and phone number, so we can send you a GIGABYTE G1.Sniper 5 Motherboard.

I don't want to give them any personal information if it's a scam. Thanx Jim |

Ya' know, I am not sure it is. A previous winner, and the tie in between this email and Tom's.

Well I sent them my info. It was just my name, address and telephone number. So we'll see what happens.

Sweet Motherboard if it's real, and you actually did luck out on this one.

I was thinking about just reselling it, but I would really like a new MB. What about a PSU and a video card or does it have onboard.
