I was going to a site and during the start-up I received a notice from Mozilla that I was selected to receive a free IPAD2 and I had 4 minutes to respond. It said that I had been selected at random from Louisiana as a winner.

This seamed too good to be true and I used Alt-cont-del to get out. Was this a real notice or a trap?

Thank you don grenier

Hi! Mozilla does not run those kind of campaigns. Beware, they are sometimes hidden with charges and extra fees. If Mozilla had such a contest, I believe they wouldn't advertise it, they would simply make a blog post and the prize would be most likely a T-shirt. We are a foundation after all, we can't give away that much!
