Competition Scams - Please Post Them Here

I am not sure whether this is the appropriate board to post this, so please forgive me if it isn't.
I just got a call saying I had won a year's free electricity from Scottish Power, from a competition I apparently entered a while ago. I can't remember having entered this, but hey, who knows - I have entered a few competitions online before. They don't seem to want any details from me other than my current provider and price plan. I don't want to give them any details if it is a scam, but also don't want to pass up on free electricity if it is legit! I've asked the guy to call me back at 2pm tomorrow. Has anyone had any similar calls, or been lucky enough to have actually, legitimately won such a competition?0 -

Maybe worth sending a PM to the Scottish Power rep on here to see if they can confirm either way.

Hi
Just had an email to say i had won a trip to spain for the facebook comp in Nov/Dec. If this is true, what does the holiday entail and what determines an actual scam?
Thank you!0 -
