Yip. It's also in Northumberland. The only difference is the telephone number. It has a local dialing code and number!

Must be a countrywide scan - Reached the shores of North Yorkshire too - Scarborough, again with a local telephone and the handwritten note, but with the 'mr/mrs' on the envelope.:rotfl:

Something arrives through your door saying "Congratulations, you have won......"

And people think they have WON something

How bizzare, how do these people grow to adulthood??

Unfortunately, this has also arrived in Harlow, Essex. Immediately I smelled a rat due to the Mr/Mrs on the envelope. When I saw the comp slip with my promised 'prize' my first thought was a time share drive like you used to get in the 80's. I somehow knew that by checking out the net I would find it was a scam, even though the phone number was a Harlow area code, 01279 550083. And thanks to you guys & gals, my gut feeling has been confirmed. As they say if it's too good to be true.....Thanks Martin.

Guess what? Mr/Mrs won a pair of Gym memberships. Not quite free, they want £3.81 each a week for the "upkeep of the equipment". The gym in question is Body Active, Harlow, CM20 2HE.

I have also had one of these lovely blue slips and been offered Body Active membership for £3.81 per week. This is about £16.50 per month which compared to other local (better) gyms this is very cheap - not free, but cheap. Typical monthly costs are £60 - £70 per month and some have joining fees as well. I have not yet followed up the "prize", but it does not seem too bad unless it is a scam to get details of bank accounts etc etc. I may check it out and repot back later.
