Had a call from Scottish Power tonight, claiming I'd entered a competition (didn't catch who she said it was with) but she confirmed my email address. Saying I had got through to the next stage to win £150 tescos vouchers, they wanted details about current energy provider etc etc, but told her my parents deal with it all. Didin't understand full as she had a really strong scottish accent:rotfl:
Has anyone else had this today, or at all?
Not sure whether its genuine or not....:cool:
EDIT: My good friend Google, has informed me that this is just an average 'cold call' !

I just looked the number up on Google and LOADS of people are getting cold calls from them saying 'you have got through to the next stage of the competition' when they haven't entered any!
I was unsure, due to the amount I enter :rotfl:
Thought it was far too good to be true!

There have been lots of comps recently to win Tesco vouchers. I know because i've entered them myself.
It sounds genuine to me. Mind you, i haven't been comping for long, so i guess we'll wait for the experts to give their advice lol
Edit: Just saw your new post. Good idea to google the number, i know that for the future. Easy to fall for such things.0 -
yep I had the same phone call too told her that OH deals with all of it - she wanted to speak to him at a convenient time - I said that wasn't a good idea

THey rang me too.. best thing is to tell them you use prepay cards and landlord says you cant change energy provider and the guy said ' ok thank you for your time I will put you through to the next round anyway. It closes on 27th March'
They wont know its a fib without a bit of a search and sure they cant be bothered with that! lolSPC 2023 #033 £352.08 /2024 £?

Evening All, :hello:
DD received one of these calls from Scottish Power tonight but the Tesco voucher prize has gone up to £1500! They said she was through to the last 9 and they are going to ring her back tomorrow. After reading this thread, I have warned her it's spam and given her a list of questions to ask THEM
Thanks for the 'heads-up' guys - I love this site :A 0 -
