I also received the e-mail but deleted it. Sounded too good to be true.

Well I have to say I stupidly registered and gave my real details- I had planned to call thier bluff- waiting for them to ask for my account details or something then dually report them to the nearest police station, so far I have had the nice lady call me, and thats as far as its gone. In terms of debts, I am actually planning on going bankrput this year- its taken me a year to save for the fees (so far) and a heart wrenching decision did not come overnight so I was not too concerned about the external address. But on reading about the other posts here, I doubt I will take up any offer! knew it was too good to be true! But great for the Ipoints- now I can cash out!!

This sounds like a con - if there is moneylaundering going on - you would be caught up in the middle of it - BEWARE!!

I doubt it to be money laundering, basically what they are doing is providing sky tv to customers in spain mostly, where you cannot purchase sky tv as sky are not licensed to broadcast outside of the UK and any subscriber who is beleaved to be doing so will have thier account suspended i used to work for Sky CS and as soon as a cust said they were moving to spain and taking their viewing card you used to email their account to vc to get the card stopped. There is a house aparently in England somewhere with about 20 sky dishes on it this is people using that address to get sky abroad its not uncommon, think about when you go on holiday to spain and you can watch sky thats what the bar owners do.

Hope this has helped explain this a little further as there seemed to be a bit of confusion of what they were actually doing, reading the posts here it all seems a good deal.

hi there i registered a while back and i have had 1 letter which i was paid £26 to send it in a pre paid addresed envelope didnt give them my back account details as i already had a paypal account and my account has been fine with no problem

so £26 for doing very little i guess was ok

Thank-you to all you money saving experts out there. I foolishly signed up with Quickpenny but have had second thoughts since reading all your posts! I think your points are valid and I'm going to be more careful next time!

I too thought Quick Penny would turn out to be a scam, but decided to try it any way. Signed up and with a month recieved a email from them saying a letter was on its way to me and I just had to return the letter in a pre-paid envelope they sent seperately. A week letter I received £25 in my paypal account . Easy.:j

Same here, i was paid £26 last week and this morning 2 letters turned up for the same person, bills i presume, but what i don't get, i am already with sky yet this went through with no problems
