    THIS IS SUCH A SCAM!!!!:mad: i was hopeful at first but nothing in life is ever that simple. What seemed dodgy is that you choose between "£25,000 and £100", then you had to pay £1.50 a minute plus £6.50 postage. Yeah that makes so much sense!:rotfl: if you win ANYTHING, it's completely free, no postage or phone line bills! and i never even entered any competitions. thanks for posting this on here so i didnt get conned :j
    Into the shredder you go!:D

    best answer thanks so much :)

    I've recycled the first letter & i'll let them pay to send me a few more before I put them all in the post "return to sender" along with a letter telling them to remove me from the mailing list

    Glad I checked. Got letter today from the 'Unclaimed Prize Register', saying that my name had been given to them by a promoter and that I was eligible for a prize. Usual stuff, expensive call to 'find out' what I had won. Can something not be done about this company? Surely it cannot be legal?

    OK me too, I got the same code as well ..... 603498

    Strange thing is I never noticed the 'digital camera' wording in the letter until you guys mentioned it. :(

    Someone mentioned the proper address as HR9 7AG " LOL " """

    Thank God for Google street maps, Oooops ......... it's Morrisons :rotfl:

    The other post codes in Ross on Wye check out some very very nice houses, there's one it has a double garage as big as my house. :(

    Another post code HR9 5DB is a tree in a field ........ :D

    Instead of Trading Standards confiscating hooky designer jeans and tops off the car boots why don't they get their lardy backsides down to M+D's offices and demand a list of all the money winners and ..... CHECK THEM ALL OUT !!!
