    If that is all that came in the email I would lean towards scam. Is there a signature? Phone number?

    It looks like a standard winning email to me .........They don't ask for bank details, just addy & phone ...I'd be sending off my details with a smile on my face ....it's a cracking win


    Just an edit to add I've been comping for over 10 years & I've had many a winning email that's like that :)

    Looks real to me and they did have a comp for that package. If you google "Evening Standard W8 5EE" it comes up for that address

    I think its a genuine win - Congratulations!!

    I remember entering that comp and thinking what on earth I would do with 59 cases of Lucozade!!

    It's common you are contacted to confirm your address/telephone number before a prize is sent out, its also normal that the prize will be sent out from a PR company on behalf of the company running the competition which is who they will pass your details to.

    Edit : To answer your question about the Evening Standard, I haven't won from them but I notice your from Scotland so to confirm London Evening Standard is a big publication down here.
    :hello:
