I just got a phone call from a foreign number with a foreign man on the other end saying I had won a holiday to Spain and £5000 for 4 people and all I had to do was state my favourite country in the world. I do not remember entering a competition like this and he did not state where he was from which made me suspisious that and as it was foreign just wondering if anybody else had had a phone call like this. I did say anything I just put the phone down didnt want to be took into a scam.
Good luck all

I have had a similar phone call , it sounded very much like an overseas call centre and I coudn't really understand the man so I put the phone down. He was talking about a holiday to Spain and asking me if I was a homeowner.Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A0
