    I wouldn't have thought Readers Digest would do a scam. Fingers crossed

    i always do readers digest when i have the chance but opt out of the books and stuff,i recently had a letter to say if i won they would pay all inclusive travel and 5 star accomadation to london? i enetered but also enter for my OH the other month nothing came from that though!!!!

    good luck
  • Just check you have read the small print, usually its win a car then its subject to you buying a book, and you later find out that millions have recieved the letter.

    Well on the back of the letter it says i need to attach the licence plate sticker to send in the envelope with my prize letter so they can send it to my door and make sure im at home when its delivered.
    i also have a chance to enter the prize money draws to if i wish.
    But it defialty says im a winner for the car. It also says i won 1000 pounds in petrol vouchers

    Hard to tell! I had a letter through the other day from Readers Digest saying that I had won £250,000 (never entered this anyway) and that an orange envelope would be pushed through my door to say I won if I acted NOW etc etc.

    Did you actually enter the comp etc?

    It doesnt sound too much like a scam but personally I'm dubious now! lol
