Anyone got an email from People's Postcode Lottery?

I have become horrified with the name of this company now. They would call anytime and bother me. Today i got an email from them saying they have given me a Gold card which would assure guaranteed money, the least being 5 quids. Anyone got this email? I had emailed them and asked if i need to pay anything to claim this. I am sure that there is a catch. It would be great if any of you could share any information regarding this. please. Thanks a lot in advance. :)

    I've had numerous calls from entering the iPad comp asking if i want to join their club and its free for the first month.... then its £10 a month!!
    I tried to explain that I'm not interested and she kept asking me why. When I said because I'm not looking for something that costs me £10 a month, I was told that I dont get something for nothing!!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts I won, I won, I won!
    I had that email a while ago and "won" £12. I thought I would be able to play that £12, however I had to set up a direct debit, then they took 2 months payments out so I immediately phoned and cancelled. I have been plagued with calls from them ever since asking me to join and why do I not want to play.

    Stay away, not worth the hassle!

    Oh and at the time I got that so called £12 win from them I checked their website and it looked quite dodgy, the links didn't work and I found spelling mistakes.

    Well I just received a letter from them, obviously my details have been bought by them, as i have never had any contact with them, nor did i wish to. Apparently, if i activate the enclosed card i could have won either £5,12,50,250 or 1000....
  • This company is really annoying. I've had loads of emails from the company and phonecalls about me paying them money by DD.
    Whether we win or lose,
    that we played at all was a winning decision. :D
