Thomas Sanderson Blinds

To the other 194 people who entered a Daily Telegraph Competition to win £2500 worth of blinds just be aware that you will receive a telephone call saying that you have won a £250 voucher. Wanted to send someone round to my house to measure up. Would be difficult as dont even have one lol. Does say that everyone will receive a voucher but dread to think of the actual cost.

    I desperately need some new blinds for my conservatory but I had a feeling this might be the case, glad I didn't enter.

    They called me too, he was a very persistent man, tried to tell me that I had 'won' the voucher, until I said that I knew that everyone that entered got one!

    I've just had a call from these, told him I weren't interested from the start, it just sounded soooo fishy!

    Could here the hubbub of a call center in the background of the call, and when he said about someone coming to show samples, I thought no chance!
