I have just got home to an automated voice message on my phone from Rachel at rewards saying I have won a holiday to Cancun and to press 1 to claim my prize.
Has anyone else had this and does anyone know if this is a scam?

Ooh, I think it is a scam. Pressing 1 puts you through to a premium rate number I believe. And then they fleece you.0

I've always been of the opinion that if a prize is genuine, they will want to speak to you in person and NEVER from a call centre
Thanks to everyone who posts comps, I love winning prizes big and small
