Hello

Well basically I want your advice on what to do, a while ago I entered the Vente-privee competition where you could win a holiday on an island as well as other prizes, I have won a plasma TV.
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1174275&highlight=vente+privee

Well I have been keeping in contact with them as I have still not received the TV and they have been replying saying that the TV would arrive end of march (ish), but today I just received an email saying if the TV was out of stock would I like them to transfer the money (1000euros) into my account and they asked for my details, should I give them my details ?? I'm a bit worried about doing that, has any one else won from this competition??


Thanks

    Hi

    Personally, I would definitely not give them any details :eek: Someone with a bit more knowledge can probably advise you further as to what to do but I would not disclose anything!!

    I would be very careful as the op only posted 2 posts, both to do with that competition. I personally would NOT give any of my bank details for money???? to be paid in to.
