I got a message saying "Winner Firefox July 12 Pennsylvania". Is this valid?
A short time ago, while I was working with a Pogo representative who had control of my computer and mouse, a message showed up in Firefox saying that I was today's Firefox winner from Pennsylvania. It said to select my prize and to enter my email to press ok.
Since I was not in control of my mouse I couldn't click on it. Perhaps that was good or perhaps not. But, I'd like to know if this a valid Firefox drawing.

Maybe it was a Pogo promotion? As far as I know, Mozilla doesn't have any daily prize drawings or similar random contests.
Please report misuse of the Firefox trademark in websites using the Mozilla's Violating Website Report page and in emails by forwarding them to Mozilla's abuse email.

whats this??
alisport, it sounds like a scam from someone who wants to take advantage of Firefox users. I suggest ignoring it.
alisport, This is a known scam as it has being going on for a while now. http://blog.gerv.net/2011/08/hoax_mozilla_firefox_online_promo/
also Mozilla would not use a aol email address.
