Hello world xbox live sign in sweepstakes winner of $40 gift card....real or scam??

LastManAlive172 · Jul 26, 2017

I recently received an email from HelloWorld saying I am the winner of the Xbox live sign-in sweepstakes and have won a $40 gift card. I'm not sure if this is real, and it takes me to a page to put in my information which I am skeptical to do. So I would
like to know if this is an official Xbox giveaway and if I actually won or if it is fake. Thanks for all the help, and this is the email I received:

We're happy to let you know that our system identified you as a potential winner of a $40 Xbox Store digital gift card in the XBOX Live Sign In Sweepstakes!

What happens next? Well, real people behind the scenes need to verify your eligibility before awarding your prize. Please complete the form found here within (5) calendar days of this email.

If you don't respond within (5) calendar days, it will forfeit your prize. Don't let that happen!

Please note that prizes cannot be shipped to P.O. Boxes.

So, then what?

You can look for your prize to be sent via email within 8-10 weeks after we receive your updated address.

It is a scam. Once in awhile you can redeem points for a $1K Microsoft Gift Card through the sweepstakes.

This also a link to a sweepstakes they had earlier this year. Hopefully whoever won was able to redeem their gift card before this decision.

"one (1) Microsoft Store Gift Card** in the amount of $442.00 which winner may (but is not required to) use to obtain four (4) Xbox Design Lab Wireless Controllers"

No i get that part. Not saying its a scam because I don't win but the CXO sweepstakes said a winner will be picked in April. All this time passed then it said there wasn't a winner picked for that sweepstakes. I get they chose to not do that sweepstakes
because of covid and travelling but give back the points for those that entered instead of scrapping and keeping all our points.

There is a sweepstakes to win a $500 gift card, but you can redeem a gift card straight out. Not everything they have to redeem is for a sweepstakes. You can redeem $3.00, $5.00, and $10.00 Xbox gift cards.
