Thanks, MacWorld/MacRumors.
 
MacRumors is not associated with MacWorld.

MacWorld is a legitimate publication.

Who knows if your email is real or not????
 
Oh? It's not someone please link me to the "MacWorld" Forum's..


Also can anyone try answering my question, is this a legit email? Will I get $10?
 
It's not much of a forum. It's more of an online magazine.
