    Had a letter this morning from O.R.P.B.General Management stating I had won indisputable!! £47,600.00
    As long as I follow the two administration clauses???

    The small print is so small I cannot read it with two pairs of glasses on.
    but I must send £20 for my Millionaires Guarantee.
    And I must not 'reveal the origin of this secret method.'

    So I am off to spend some of my winnings.
    Be ALERT - The world needs more LERTS

    hate to burst your bubble but that sounds very much like a con to me.
    any comps that ask you for money first should always be given a wide berth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
