    It's a scam. If you input your information into it to "claim your prize" it will take your credit card information and money. Though, in many cases if you say "yes, claim your prize" it downloads a virus onto your phone that you cannot see until all your credit card money has disappeared.

    Of course it's a scam. Why would anybody randomly give total strangers a free iPhone? Had you clicked on it, you would have been asked to provide all your personal details, possibly including your bank account information to cover the small "processing fee" to claim your "prize".

    Its a scam to get information off you. (Credit cards, etc.) Usually companies do not hand out free Phones more so free things at all randomly. If you really did win you would get a mail or email from that company. Its best if you ignore it and leave it be.

    The safest thing is just to close the website.
