[Q] I Got an email stating I won?!?!? Looks shady - General Questions and Answers

Hi I dont know if anyone can help me, buy I recently entered one of xda competitions, I just received an email stating that I am the winner with a link to follow and I should complete an offer from one of the offeres listed and then they will get back to me.
This is for the free giveaway of the 5 devices I guess?
"xda developers has sent you a message
You can reply to this message by visiting your messages.
Hey Mohammed! I'm happy to announce that you won the One Plus One! To claim your prize please go to the link below, complete an offer and then I will get in touch with you!"
Is this how this works, because it does not look real to me?
And the message was sent by youtube (<[email protected]>)
Thanks

I think that's fake... Maybe you should ask the competition's organizer for confirmation.
BTW, the sender's email (<[email protected]>) can be fake. People can use email address whatever they want to send emails to you.

[App]Google+ New Social networking app from google

http://www.androidcentral.com/google-goes-social-google#comments
It's new and it's on android market.
Edit post: it's still on closed beta.
Anyone has an invitation? Please invite me at zebastian at gmail dot com.
Thanks in advance!
It's invitation only ;(

Guys just go over here https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googleplus/
I'm hoping they'll come out with apps for the big 3 major platforms quickly. I know too many people stubbornly stuck on BlackBerry and it would be a shame if they weren't included in native app development.
Very interesting. If anyone have inviatation please can send one at molin.mauro @ gmail.com
Thanks in advance and sorry for bad English.
Google+ looks insanely awesome. If some has an invite it would be much appreciated if you could pm me and I could give you my email address to invite me.
Thanks.
And thank you Google for being the best!
like most people, I'm also looking for an invite. If anyone has one that they're willing to part with, please PM me. Thanks a ton!
I really hope I get an invite for this it looks really cool!
Guys, don't request for an invite and leave your GMail accounts here. You have to request them on Google's signup website for it.

Yea, I know. Already did that. Doesn't hurt to throw a small request out there. I'll get invited eventually by google, but sometimes other people just give them out faster.
If anyone can get me an invite my email is [email protected]. I'd love to test this.
no invite here but I let them know to keep me posted.
For those interested in where Google+ came from and how serious this initiative is, check out the link below from Wired.com.

The beta is overpopulated. Looks like we really have to wait.

ingress invite codes!!

mod edit. There will be absolutely no selling of ingress codes or you will receive an infraction. Please consider this your only warning!
I have had the app on my phone for three weeks, I also signed up for the beta a long time ago but no codes from Google
I guess it's time to put my pride aside and ask for a code here. I have a couple steam game codes I could give you back in return if you wish.
'll edit post with games I have to give
edit: i have

I haven't got my code either...
I register with 3 different emails and over a month ago like 5 times a week.
NOTHING!
Im starting to feel like I'm back in high school and didn't get invited to the party that even the geeks got invited to.
Give the OP an invite first but if someone got one laying around I'll be gladly take it.

Hi everyone. I just loaded up the app to see if I could generate invite codes. It looks like I can only send invites to email addresses. If you want me to try inviting you, pm me your email address, and I'll invite you. Again, I don't know if it'll work, though.
Also, I uninstalled it after just a couple days because the app was so glitchy, and made my phone laggy as molasses. It was pretty awful. It looks like there was a recent update (the graphics look a bit updated), but still seems to be pretty rough on my phone (a Droid 4... not the latest and greatest Android, but still, not some cheap third party either).
Edit: I just tried to send an invite, and noticed in little blue text "0 invites remaining"; I don't know if that invite will go through. I'm trying to search the help pages to see how to get invites.
this has to be the hardest beta I have tried to get into. thx to anyone who helps
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Ok, I finally found one post on Google+ that might explain how I can get invites to send out.
I'll try doing that tomorrow (I'll try to time my post so he's more likely to see it).
In the meantime, it looks like he is still giving out "artistic inspiration" invites. Post an Ingress-inspired...thing... tag it #ingress and +Brandon Badger, and if the stars are aligned just right, he'll invite you. -_-
BTW, sorry I couldn't get you guys in already. I don't know why they didn't just give all new users x-number of invites upon activation, like every other invite-only Google product ever.
thanks for that info. im not very good with arty stuff but maybe I can seduce someone with my game codes .. hha

I got a code!! made a fancy ingress logo thing uploaded to the Google + and im golden!
thanks for letting me know about that!

Just in case someone else wants a code

Their is a blog thats giving out free ingress codes, I got one! It's pretty cool, you submit a funny picture and if they like it they send you a code! Check it out - goo.gl/vrjw9
Im still waiting for an invite to this, its beginning to rite annoy me. Does anyone have a spare invite code going that they are willing to part with
Any one have an extra invite pls

INBOX BY GMAIL, CHAIN OF INVITES (and trust)

***WE NEED THE FIRST HERO, PLEASE SOMEONE PM ME!***
I've got an idea, when I get the pm with first invite, he will have to post a reply saying "I'm the HERO" and I'll say "Yes he is" by pointing his reply, and until he get 100 "Thanks" I'll not spare the first invite.
_____________________________________________________________________
INFO:
The point of this thread is to "make" a lot of invites (over a chain) to everyone who is interested, from only one invite.
Someone should spare the first (lets name him W..) on private with the first interested (lets name him X.. Or me! ) in the thread , then X "thanks" W and give 2 of his invites with the next two interested (Y and Z), then Y and Z give (between the two) 4 invites to the next interested.. And so on and on.
This way we avoid spamming by trusting people with the same interest.
PLEASE, NO EMAIL POSTING, JUST SAY "INTERESTED". THEN WE SHARE MAILS OVER PM.
What do you think guys? Someone interested? We need the first hero.
Sorry about my English!!
Lets do it!
Come on! We need the first hero!
First one, please PM me to start the chain!
Thanks!

INBOX by Google - share your invitation

So other invitation thread are not working so I think we should try the other way.
If you have free invitations just post in this thread saying that you can share, so other people can PM you their emails. If you run out of invitation just edit your post to "out of invitations" or something like this.
DO NOT POST YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESSES IN THIS THREAD!
DO NOT REQUEST INVITATION
READ OP BEFORE POSTING IN THIS THREAD!!!
.
I want one and willing to share
Ok, but please don't turn this thread into another pointless requesting thread.
I just don't get it why this is so hard for people to share at least one invitation.
Can i get invutation?
And i will share it, thanks

The issue seems to be that people are not getting invites. I've had Inbox for 3 days now from an invite and I have not received any invites to give out.

Maybe, who knows? Some people are selling invites on Ebay. Maybe it's to stop that too.
Suggestion: Send invites to established XDA members, not to "one hit wonders" who are just here for an invite.

Then, they should just let people share and not block it.
Did you check if you have the latest version, maybe you need to update your app?

Oh ok.
I may eventually change it but for now it's 1 star from me to you Google.
This is 3rd time,really Google!
Just to let everyone here know... If you know someone who got an invite, just add your account to their inbox app... It will activate for you as well... Then remove your account from their phone.
I got an invite but have not gotten any invitations to give out, but I have successfully activated it for 2 friends till now...

They did not bother to even read the post. When I get my invite I'll post on here and the first to PM who also said "request invite" in forum without leaving their email will get one. Then I will post their name and say "invite sent". Only active longtime member will get one from me. I'm not gonna cater to first time spammers just looking for invites.
I have invites.. PM your email. First three will get it
Just got the invite from google
Okay. .im out of invites. Unfortunately the invite option doesn't show up in the inbox app. As soon as it does I will send the first three pm's an invite.
So you all can stop sending me request, I wish I could send you all an invite but I can't.

Looking forward to your review soon~
Hi @LilyWang I have PM'd you on facebook as specified for S6 case
Please keep me updated if you get the case
Some of you might get the case already, please keep me updated if you get it, I would love to know your schedule on the review with some pictures.
Please send me the permalink of your review after it's online.
I noticed that one reviewer only left us few words on amazon with no mention of the quality or design of our case.
It's okay if he just wanted it that way, then I have nothing to say but obviously we don't need that review which is not helpful to our customers.
After finished this round reviews on Lumenair cases which means we got all the reviews within a week, we can move forward to the next one.
I'd like to ask your suggestion for our next reviewed S6 case.
Welcome to post the product link here.
Thank you all for your support!
