This is a scam. Don't fall for it. If you didn't enter a contest, then, you didn't win. This is a way for the 'scammers' to get your personal information and drain your bank accounts, etc. Don't answer it. Delete it.
I get e-mails ALL the time telling me I've won lotteries- UK, Australia, Amazon, etc. I didn't enter any on-line lotteries.
Save yourself a lot of grief- delete the message!

I received a similar notice, the company can not be found. Any HONEST CONTEST never make it difficult for the contestants to collect their prizes.
If there is no street address, where I can sent the local police to check them out, I would not respond.
If there is no phone that the local district Attorney, or a Court appointed, offer can call to talk to someone - I would not respond.
