    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

    They have been calling my home too and they keep missing me. I remember entering a competition either through Quidco or HUKD not so long ago for an Audi - I am assuming it is related to that. A quick google pulled up this from elsewhere: http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/08081682740/2.

    Seems very mean to get your hopes up like that Dippychick and then just try and sell you something... I hate sales calls!
    Life is all about the journey.
  • I'm fed up of this number showing up on my phone. It really annoys me, as nobody answers or leaves a message when i pick up or MOSTLY miss the call for refusal, as i now have saved the number under P for PEST! lol Thankfully, i did not give out my home number, as they'd probably sell it on to others (you never know).
    The same number used above 08081682740
