    I had the email about the cinema tickets as well. Found it a bit suspicious and now that I've found they are doing it for the coffee voucher as well, even more suspicious.

    Don't know if I'm being overly paranoid but could this be some sort of money laundering scam?

    How would that work, though? You mean people won't get their cheques?

    It's definitely linked to the 118 site - see the bottom of the 118 dot com website (I can't post links here because I'm too new).

    However, the whole thing is extremely suspect!

    I don't know really tbh...I'm just very wary of people/companies sending out cheques to be cashed...it seems very strange, why aren't they just sending out cinema vouchers?

    I also want to know why some people have received this email and others haven't.

    No tickets arrived today.

    Yes, will be interested to see if anyone actually gets cinema tickets. If they do, fair enough. If not, then I don't know what's going on, but doubt it can be legit!

    I'm not complaining about anything. I'm just wondering why some people have received the email, while others haven't. And no one seems to have received the tickets at all.
