Scam Call
Just had a call from someone who asked to speak to my husband and then, on hearing he was at work, told me that my husband had entered a competition for a holiday in Europe worth £2.500 and won. My husband doesn't enter comps but this man knew my husband's e-mail address and age.
The caller told me to claim the prize by phoning free number 08009889900 and if I did so immediately I would receive an extra 50 pounds of shopping vouchers.
Googled the number: http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/080098899000 -

urgh - had this call last night. £29.50 to claim your prize per person on the trip ! Well it's not a prize if you have to pay anything!
Had https://www.studio64ltd.com on the phone today saying I had won a prize. Same deal - pay a "small" deposit.0 -

Thanks for all your advice, got an e-mail from TimeOut today confirming that I did win the flights and it was not junk e-mail! I guess sometimes you can be a little over cautious! :beer:

I got a call from Fresh Image that I won a competition. (I did enter on the street). But I have to pay £30 deposit. Said I will get money back at the end of the day. I'm pretty sure they will try to sell me photos at the end. I don't know if I should do it. On the day you get a facial, massage, manicure and champagne.0
