Okay heres what you do.

On hotmail or some "webmail" and some email things, maybe outlook click

"View Full Header" and it displays the REAL email address it's been sent from ;)

If the full header or what ever it's called says [email protected] it's 100&#37; genuine.

Whats the TMQ competition though?

Thankyou VERY much, i'm starting to think its real, as it came to the e-mail adress I use for HABBO only! Only I and Habbo know it!

It looks okay to me, it's not asking for your password or anything.

If you still remain unsure send Habbo an email, and discuss it with them. If you live in the UK maybe you could try giving them a call to see if it's genuine? I believe their numbers on the website somewhere :)

That's definately the offices address, so either way, your details will be going to Habbo if you send them by post and no one else.

I won first prize, I got the email on the 11th of January. I replied, on the 11th, haven't heard anything yet. They may have posted it, I don't know. :p It is real, all the headers are safe. In the email it says I've won a X-Box gaming console, nothing about a PS2.

EDIT: I got mine at 12:02, you got yours at 11:59. :8

I wondered that. They would of said if it was a 360, plus I don't think they sell games for old X-Boxes anymore? Hopefully it's a 360.


We are mailing you to let you know that you have won the star prize, which is a X-Box gaming console and 5 games from THQ to play on it!

I know. Why would they give you a prize which is obselete? So I think it will be a X-Box 360, I hope... :p THQ make most of the games that are based on movies, they made "The Incredibles" and you can see by the list of games you win that they're all movies. "Barnyard", "Cars", "Monster House" etc.
