Anyone else get an email from AOL-Warner...
... about winning a free Citizen Kane DVD?
I did today. Here's what it said:
Congratulations! You are a winner in the Warner Home Video Citizen Kane Sweepstakes! Please reply to this email with the address you would like your Citizen Kane DVD mailed to. This information will not be used for any purpose other than to distribute the sweepstakes prize.
Thanks for entering!

I don't remember anything about it, and I never win anything. Plus, I already have this DVD. I'm sure I can sell it though, supposing I actually get it. So, anyone else out there receive this?

Sounds fishy. I wouldnt' send my address. But i would send an email back requesting a number and a person you can speak to to confirm its authenticity. I'm sure they'll understand.

I "won" something from aol. It ended up taking me to a site where i had to type in my PW and SN to get it. Yeah right! Just don't give anyone your PW is all the advice i have.

I won one as well-
it came from a DVD talk link to a contest - I think they gave away 25 copies or more.

jiggyblau, I got that email yesterday. I'm curious about it because even though it was sent to me it was not addressed to me AND it arrived in my junk file. I tried unsuccessfully to get someone at Warner Bros Online to speak to me, mostly they said they are not in charge of the promotion dept. They couldn't even give me a number to go to.
I'm going to try that number in the email on Monday. Their is just something about this promotion that desn't feel right. And since you took the time to ask, I can only assume you felt the same way. Did you send your info already?

Also, someone above posted that there were to be 25 winners. I can easily see them sending out a non-personal email with that number of winners.
If I get the DVD, excellent. I'll have two of them. If not, no big deal. I would be selling it anyway. But I'd still rather get it!
