    Hope I'm worrying over nothing Slydrap, but this sounds awfully like a scam that has been doing the rounds. Have they asked for any more personal details (credit card?) or asked you to buy anything?

    I had a phone call about this the other day, it was a scam, they wanted me to pay £9 or something a month, didn't take much notice of what they said sorry as i put the phone down. I hope in your case this isn't the case and you win a lovely car. :T

    Unfortunately I have to agree totally here, especially if it is from this number 08009121698 but I do hope it is genuine in your case.

    just had the same call it looks like it's a scam sorry

    Please don't part with any money or bank details, if you have really won then why do they need your personal details?

    The number they used in my case was 08081682740 if that's any help

    Just out of interest all of you who have had the calls are you signed up with Quidco? I seem to remember doing like a click thing where you entered your details to win a car and various other items and got something like 80p cash back, just a thought
