    Well done, I would send them my phone number and details without hesitation as it looks legit to me! :j

    I won a big prize with Evening Standard, but they did phone me first (I can't remember if I spoke to a Sarah though). They sent my details straight to the comp organizers, who then emailed me. It all happened very fast and my main prize was sent out within a week.

    Any suggestions on my next move anyone?:oLast woman I spoke to said it was the Daily Mail that I was speaking too even though I dialled the googled no for evening standard 02079386000 switchboard 0800010111

    The Evening Standard is part of the Daily Mail Group so I wouldn't worry about that part - the main switchboard is shared and it can be a bit of a maze getting through to the right part of the correct paper!

    Congratulations- fantastic prize!
    Hmmmm, need new siggie :cool:
