Came up on my phone news feed as well, but I ignored it based on the quality of the reporting site (essentiallysports.com) I ignored it. I am pretty sure we'd have heard from a trustworthy source if there was anything in this?

Have I woken up in an alternative reality where people trust things found on the internet?

That domain name alone is enough to make me run for the hills, but if it is kosher then fair play.

Cant say as I didnt use it but it was all over social media this morning

Fair enough, but I don't take anything on the internet at face value until I've satisfied myself it is real. Even more so with social media sites (which I gave up participating in 5 years ago as it pushes all my paranoia buttons). I see the positives, but the very ethos of "social media" screams "danger!" to me. I guess I've worked in technology too long and hence have a cynical streak built in.

Be careful with anything offering something for nothing on the internet. Particularly in the current "lock down" climate. That's all I'm saying

No need for that Forz. It may very well be genuine, seems like paps has received via email (though that doesn't actually make it genuine). Just to be clear, I'm not saying don't avail yourself of some free entertainment if it is on offer, far from it. What I am saying is be careful clicking links which then ask you for some personal details in order to access the "free goodies". Be safe peeps (in all ways).

Not trying to put a damper on anyone discovering free good stuff (far from it, we all need as much distraction as we can get). Just trying to make people "think before click", that's all fellas.
