  • My Mum received the letter today. Different personal code though - 048700002075812

    Prizes are cheque for £25k, Sony Laptop, £5k cash, 37"HD TV and a 2 Carat Garnet Pendant.

    The 2carat Pendant is on a 'gold tone chain'. Classy!:p

    This letter is asking for £14.95 via postal order or credit card. :eek:

    Same company. No premium rate phone number either.
    Thanks to all who posted this beforehand.

    I paid £14.95 to receive my prize which were threatre tickets for any westend show but to use these it would have cost me approx £45, I returned the tickets and requested my money back, this was in Feb 2010, I also asked them to take me off their mailing list, I have since received 3 letters stating I have won a prize, I telephoned them, and asked for my money back and to stop sending me new prize awards, I have written to them but they always say they did not receive the letters, they are a scam company and I feel stupid for falling for it. I have reported them to Trading Standards and now going down that route.:(

    Hooray! my OH got one today, with a very personal allocation code.... 603498 :j

    But we do not "recall filling in and mailing an entry coupon blah blah"

    So unfortunate, just can't force myself to claim an undeserved digital camera :D

    I have also received one of these letters with the allocation code of 603498, i am going to post off for my "prize" and i will let you all know what the outcome is. No doubt it will be the digi camera but it has got to be worth the price of a couple of stamps,cheers:)

    I know this is 2 years after the post I've quoted, but...

    I got a letter today from the same people with the same allocation code of 603498.
