West London I received one today what a rip off! :mad:0

As I posted on the other thread about this scam, I recieved one today and I'm in SE6 - so they're moving south! Thank goodness I googled before ringing - the handwritten stuff on the blue "Congratulations" slip made it look more legit but I was suspicious of the Mr/Mrs thing.

We've also received one in Milton Keynes.
It comes in an prepaid envelope from Glos and contains a compliment slip and 'Congratulations' coucher. It does look real due to the handwritten element.
Will forward it to trading standards.0 -
Yep, I got caught out by these people but I haven't rung the phone number as I knew it was a scam when I opened the envelope. I looked up the company name and it lead me here. I A guy at the door was posing as a mori bbc pollster recently and asked me questions with the answers on a rating from 1 to 10 for each. This was in Stockport.
Additional: This is a pure scam posing as a mori poll and they even give you a mori branded pen and leaflet with the number 0808 238 5456 as a number to call to verify it is legitimate. Don't phone the number!0 -
Good morning all
I am in Milton Keynes, and I had an envelope/compliment slip and a "congratulations voucher" slip yesterday from these people. The format is exactly as described previously.
This morning I tried to telephone the number on the voucher - 01908 980007 - from my workplace (a large organisation), and got a "number unobtainable" tone (maybe because I telephoned before 9.30?). As far as I am aware, there are no numbers in Milton Keynes starting with a "9" which was why I didn't want to contact them using my home 'phone! I then "googled" the "company", which led me here.
I will, like Money Watcher, inform Trading Standards.0 -
Received above in TW3/West London this morning - have notified local TS. Many thanks for info.0

I received an envelope marked "Mr/Mrs" and the address containing comp slip and congratulations message. Suspecting that there is no such thing as a free gift, I googled matters consulting ltd and the first thing I saw was your warning message - so many thanks I live in Brockley in L B of Lewisham and will be sending the envelope and contents to Trading Standards.:T0
