is it a scam

Options
I have just recieved an email from everyday saving.

Saying I have won a cruise
But they want a £2.95 postage and packing fee for the booking form.

Has anybody had an email like this?
I'm a bit waery as it looks like i will have to pay somthing, I am new to comping and don't want to give out bank details. On the other hand I would love a trip to spain.
Any help or advice would be great.
I may not be very lucky in competitions, but I do feel very lucky in life.

  • Generally speaking. If the comp is genuine you won't have to pay anything at all. Maybe someone who knows about the company in question can help more but it does ring alarm bells to me i'm afraid.
  • Did you enter a competition to win a cruise from them? Firstly you need to find the comp and check your thanks, if it's one listed on here then I would query why you would have to pay for the form when the cruise has been paid for? That should be at their expense.
