There's an old saying - if it's too good to be true it probably is. Delete the message.

It's most likely to be a scam. Like the Yahoo Lottery emails, there's no competition for Oprah tickets. Don't click the link, don't leave any details.

You don't have to win tickets to an Oprah show. You can call the told free numbers to get tickets. It may take you a while, but you can get them for FREE. Don't trust anything that comes in thru your email. And don't post the link here, so some person clicks it, and get's a bunch of junk.

Ms Sesible: You are. Something it is soooo easy to get 'lax' about is
-as SOON as you see it's a "Nigerian" Scam- it is just a big, big mistake to hit 'Delete'
-before, picking-up a pen, and fast-as-you-can: note their E-mail address; hit 'Options',
over on the upper Right; hit "BLOCK ADDRESSES"
-and [immediately add what you've taken a couple of minutes writing-out.
For older, "Answerers", sometimes these 'scammers' E-mail addresses
ARE hard to read: they do NOT WANT you [to read] them, so always, but always
keep a pair of + 2.5 'magnifiers' under your monitor..
Now, BE SURE to 'click': "ADD BLOCK" -then, forget them.. (Do less than the above
-and you may be [very sure that] you shall be [contacted by the same] 'Nigerians'..
intent on EMPTYING your's -or your PARENT'S.. bank account!
(And it happens SOME-where, -with terrifying smoothness- EVERY day!)
Play safe; "BLOCKED", -by YAHOO !

If you have to ask yourself "is this a scam?" then the answer is almost always yes.
All you've got to ask yourself is "why?" - why has some random stranger decided to send you to the Oprah show, hotel included? What would they stand to gain from this?...

Sounds like a scam, just for the heck of it, i clicked on the link. It leads to a blank page. I consulted the internet and that page
is a SPAm page, so its not scam, its just Span, where they fill your mailbox with junk.

There was a news article about this recently.
A lot of FAKe invites were sent out to the show, yes it is a scam.
read the atricle below for more in depth details.

Have you entered a competition lately to win tickets?I personally think this is a scam.

sure it most likely is.
you got to be careful of such winning notifications.
maybe you should just stop clicking the link.
and a shocker, some scammers also do post this type of questions online just to check on people's opinion about their bait.
we all hope someday there'll be a way to get around theses scammers.

"zoomlensworld.com" has SFA to do with selling camera accessories...it's all over lists of BAD domains, spam posters and general frauds. It also tries to sell phony Registry-fixing scamware. Do a web search on the domain...
