I got couple of message from Announcement. It was saying "congratulations, you have achieved first place. collect your prize at:
http://........silkroad.co.uk.webpage" and it was signed by Joymax UK. Wasn't to sure about this. I know Joymax is a Korean company I think, but just wanted to check with you guys. I didn't mention the whole site because I didn't want people to go there. Also I didn't sign up for any competition to win a 1st place prize. Thought it was a little weird. Is this something serious I should report to Joymax?

I'd say yeah, it's definitely a phishing site. The url is kinda obvious it is too. Joymax would announce some reward program if it was legit. Dun goooooooooooooo.
I used to get messages like that from spam bots..
