Recieed email from hi5.com

[Replies: 1]
I recieved an email from hi5.com stating that I won a grand prize of $2000 but I have to give my credit card and Bank information in order for the funds to be transfered to me. I just need to make sure that this is a legal transaction by hi5. Prize # 287365. Below is the link that was sent to me to claim my winnings.

Ghenet, this sounds like a classic phishing trick, if you've heard of that - they lure you to clicking to a site or profile that then asks you to type in your username and password, maybe an account, credit card, or social security no., etc. But I'll pass your Q along to our contact there and see what they say. Thanks for posting,
Anne
