Sherrill tree scam

[hosocat]

Sherrill is having a 12 days of christmas promotion on facebook. I signed up and the next day received a notice that id won a prize. It prompted me through a couple steps then asked for credit card info. I got suspicious and backed out. I think this is a scam. I think sherfill has a security problem and someone has hacked them, otherwise how would they know to target me? I would not trust sherrill with any sensitive info.
