    How many newbies on the 1 thread lol! Maybe the scammers are targeting new compers especially :eek:

    You all invested in a shredder right? ...... right?

    From what I can gather, the company has a few trading names but the letters are all the same and all the businesses are located in Ross-on-Wye, so what do you think?

    Definitely the same company.

    And why invest in a shredder when you get a bit of exercise and a lot of joy from doing it yourself!

    Is this a scam?Anybody got this letter ?It asks me to call a premium number to claim my prize with a code.I dont enter that many comps also.Pls help.

    Hi this is a scam, I got the same letter today told me ring quickly and to quote allocation code 603498, which is the same code they send everyone as if I would be mad enough to spend £1.50 a minute, at 6 minutes to claim

    Dont even bother sending a SAE as all you will get is a flimsy digital camera not worth even a one pound and they want you to send £6.50 to receive it!, all the other prizes DO NOT exist. A legit prize letter would not ask you to ring premium rate numbers to claim prizes and money to receive prizes.

    Hi all,

    My wife received a letter today with Alocation Code 603498!

    Glad I Googled and stumbled here first. Thanks all for sharing the information.

    Does drive me mad that these companies get away with this.

    I checked out the M & D website. If I hadn't found the comments here, the amatuerish website gives it away. Honestly, I think primary school kids could do better!

    Thanks again.

    This is an easy one.

    If everyone was to write.. "Return to sender" and put the junk mail (whatever) it was back in a post box, then the compnay would have to pay Royal Mail a hefty return delivery charge. Yes... they do get charged! So don't rip it up, just send it back! Don't worry if you've opened the mail, just tape it back up and send it back like that.

    I did this with all my unwanted junk scam mail! Strangely enough I don't get much these days!!!
