Strange phonecall

I've just received a strange phonecall asking me if I was aware of the terms and conditions from a comp I entered from the Manchester evening news. I can't remember what it was now but she also asked if I had a valid passport and if I was over 18. Then she said she would ring later this week. Does this mean I have won something?

    I can't find anything on the website to suggest a comp that would need a passport. I'll just keep everything crossed.

    Good luck, I'd have already packed - but it could just be a personalised passport cover.

    Oooh, good luck black-saturn. Let us know what happens (and if there's any room for me in your suitcase) :laugh:
  • Ooh I've just had a similar call but it was from Virgin Radio. A comp I entered on here posted by Kipper for a 4 person trip to the Jack Daniels party in Tennessee. I have to listen tonight to see if I win, I will let you know!!
