Is this a win or a scam?

ecclesto

I have recived a letter saying I had entered a competition some time ago and I have won a prize. BUT I have to phone an 0906 no to claim my prize. The letter us from ECRED18b, with a PO Box no!. Any ideas?

I'm not sure who they are but 0906 is a premium rate number = 60p per minute, if you put the full number here we can see what Google shows for it.

the phone no is 09061 584980. Thanks for your help

I can't imagine any legit competition asking you to ring a premium rate number to confirm a win. Hope I'm wrong but if it was me, I wouldn't be ringing that number.

I agree, but that's my opinion.
