Received a letter yesterday form Vitamail saying that I had the winning number for a £15,000 payout. To claim I needed to respond to them within 48hrs with an order. It didn't really give me time to think so I ordered the minimum and await my cheque.
Today I have searched the internet only to find warnings of a scam so whether I will ever get any winnings is yet to be seen.
I WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED.
Vitamail have been scamming people for years

I had an e-mail out of the blue from Chris Laing saying he was going to post the iPad after he went to the hospital but that he had left my address at his house. So I sent my address again and a couple or so hours later I received an e-mail with a picture of a Royal Mail Special Delivery receipt and it arrived the next day, still sealed! I opened it and turned it on to make sure it worked and everything seemed fine! I, of course, e-mailed him to let him know I received it okay but not heard anything back since... which is fine by me really, lol. :rotfl:0 -

Received this e-mail today:
Good afternoon..............,
You recently won a competition with us and on delivery of your prize, unfortunately there was no one in at the address given.
Could you please call the courier company back on 01795435444 and quote your consignment number of xxxxxxx to rearrange a delivery date that is suitable for yourself.
Many thanks and congratulations
I think this is dodgy as it does not say who it is from. I am waiting for one thing to come through the post from a Chat comp win. But any delivery company would usually leave a card through the door. Has anyone else had anything similar as I don't want to chance the number if it is a scam :mad:December 2012 wins: WWE TLC Stunt Set, Bottle of Chambord Raspberry Liquor.

Sounds genuine?0 -
Thanks Lilias tried the number and it was genuine apparently they did not have the house number and wanted to check. Just if the e-mail had said from what company I would have not been so suspicious thanks againDecember 2012 wins: WWE TLC Stunt Set, Bottle of Chambord Raspberry Liquor.
