I got exactly the same 4 cards as you.

The scam is that it will cost you £9 to call the line to get a claim number, and it will cost you £9 if you text the code as well.

So... if you read the small print you'll see that you can get a claim number by sending a letter to the address there, wait a month, get that code and then send the winning tickets with the codes to claim.

Think the helicopters are a £10 prize, not sure about the dogs but I'd guess its the Avanti Canaries Holiday.

Just did some research and it seems the Avanti Canaries Holiday and it's a time share type of deal, so if you do claim it be prepared to be stuck in meetings/presentations... oh yeah and only the accomodation is paid for, you'll have to pay for everything else.

Cheers. I knew you had to pay £9 to phone or text them and I guessed the 3 symbols would be the £10 prize (making £1 profit !) but i wondered what the scam was with the holiday i "won" with the 2 symbols.

Should have guessed it's time share. Thanks.

Hi all, looking for some quick advice.

I got one of these scratchards called "Win a Million" from a company called "Purely creative" ..anyway, i won (shock horror)

I scratched off 3 Lions on 1 card, and it says i win a cash payout

I also scratched off 2 pears on another card which means i win like a prize

Does anyone know if this is real? And if i claim it through postage i actually get the prize? Please please please advice needed

thank ya x

You've won £10 but it will cost you more than that to obtain your prize. I had 3 lions on my card too and if you read back on this thread so did a lot of other people.

Hmmm looks like I have fallen for the old trick of getting excited having scratched 3 matching symbols, I know its this weak spot that scamsters work on, but having done the research I suppose the company do give you the oppurtunity to apply by post, and just hope to scam the folks who excitedly phone or text the premium rate number.

Ok think I'l do the post thing but was wondering does anyone know what 3x helicoptors or what 2 dogs means on the 'ALL NEW CASHCARD' with a closing date of 28/02/10....thankyou....:o

3 helicopters here too.

It will not cost you more, if you go down the postal route, in fact you'll make about £5. The postal route does take a long time however.

All new cash card:

1st card - Glasses, Bike, Car.
2nd card - Helicopter, helicopter, helicopter.
3rd card - Heart, robin, bell.
4th card - Parasol, dog, dog.

I'm guessing helicopters are a load of crap then?

Number is: 0906 158 2281

Can any1 please confirm that the 3 helicopters is 10 pounds and that the 2 dogs is the timeshare holiday?

I think its a disgrace that Sky are misleading thousands if not millions of people by giving everyone a winning card. Expected better from them.
