It looks like spam, reads like spam ... so I'm treating it as spam unless anyone here knows better ...



And it's addressed to a Hotmail account that I rarely use too.

I agree all the classic spam hall marks. Why would an official Land Rover competition use and @xnmsn.com email address?

If you still have the message take a peek at the full header and find out where it orginated and the first Recieved: lines are. I bet they aren't associated with Land Rover.
