    Just got this on facebook. I don't think I'm the only one.

    Priscilla SheehanHey Caroline how are you?
    I'm running the AQUILA prizes and competitions for next week at our amazing Made in Chelsea party at Scala. So, Proudlock picked you as the runner up prize winner of an amazing prize package for next week! Well done! I’ll explain your huge prize now.
    So, you’ve won: The Made in Chelsea experience, a party in VIP with Proudlock and his friends at one of London’s hottest clubs. You and your friends will be partying with him & his friends, in style, all night in VIP. You’ve got free entry, one of our limited edition AQUILA special goody bags, and most importantly, a golden AQUILA envelope. With a very special prize in it...The golden envelopes contain either bundles of cash, bottles of grey goose vouchers, or free club tickets.
    This is all at the AQUILA at Scala launch night, hosted by Proudlock & friends on Wednesday June 5th. It will be outrageous. We have a surprise big name DJ flying out from the USA to perform at the night too! This is our best ever night to win a prize for, so really well done!
    All I need from you is a list of your friends' names. Prize is really for large groups, as its in the VIP room, so please send over 30+ names, if you don’t think you can reach this let us know, I’m sure we can work something out, but 30 is the target.
    I’m in the office 10-5pm week days, available on 0203 214 8235. AQUILA is the hottest club night brand in London, and Scala is one of London's best venues.
    xx

    Definitely not legit. I get these all the time and the other names are always the same and my name is always in the middle. It's spam.

    I know, lol.

    When I didn't respond she sent me another message, to which you can see my reply below. :)

    Priscilla Sheehan: Hey babe, can you start sending over those names for me please?
    You can then keep sending them over to me up until the night. So exciting! Well done again xx

    Caroline: Sorry, no can do. I can't make it to London, can't afford drinks in London, and don't know 30 people let alone have that many friends. Thanks though!

    Currys PC World


    ANNOUNCEMENT: We have been made aware of a fake Currys PC World. Facebook page that is offering 500 Samsung 3D Blu Ray players in a Father's Day competition - although we wish we had that many samples to treat you with, please do not engage with the fake page, it has been reported. Thanks for your support.
    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    Yay, looks like they noticed our comments informing them of the rogue page. Just like the fake Argos. page we managed to get removed yesterday. :)
