eBay gift winner?

[Mick Milakovic]

I was just on eBay, checking out some items, when a pop-up appeared:  

Instant eBay $500 Gift Cetificate Winner!.  

They wanted my email address, but I thought it was just a scam so I deleted it.  I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them?  Hopefully I didn't just blow it! [:0]

Mick,
I have had that happen to me several times at different web sites. I clicked on one once. Come to find out, you can get what they say, but only after doing a bunch of things like giving them three names..sometimes you even have to buy something. And on top of that, they ask for your email address, which they probably give out to hundreds. Taint worth it. I delete them now..
