    Well, welcome, Rodgers!

  • Thank God for sites like this!

    Yes! I have in my possession a Medieval Million Prize draw winning scratch card and guess what ‘The first line is all thumbs up’ Well guess what I ‘ve followed that with 2 fingers of my own on my right hand and too make certain I’ve gave them the middle one on my left ! I guess we’re all winners now aren’t we?

    Shouldn’t they be charged for unnecessary adding to global warming along with all the other printed trash that comes through our doors!

    That's one for the Discussion Time board, we'd need strong evidence that such actions actually cause global warming, or even that global warming is a man made phenomenon and not just the planets natural cycle first.
    Bought, not Brought
  • My other half just received a purchase from BuyCosmetics.com which is fine, but it had one of these Medieval Million scratch cards in and guess what - she is a winner!
    The card asks you to call 09061-561759 which at £1.50 per minute we will not be doing. The address is PO box 22, Ross-on-Wye.
    Seems they are still at it and must still catch enough folks to make it worthwhile.
  • Title THE C.A.R Roger Davis. No not roger the rabbit.

    we would like to make arrangements to deliver your prize.
    ok, i replied. I live at 79 ch ----road bu---- the midlands inclusive of postal address.

    thats what it states on the letter. But No You have to pick it up? Wait a minute they are supose to deliver my prize.
    Oh, Boy. What a scam this is. I hope roger rabbit, opps, Roger Davis i mean, thats the the awards manager definately recieves is award like promised.
    po box 63 Ross on Wye HR9 9WX This is The Scam office.
  • I'm not allowed to post links however some of you might like to read a post I made yesterday: Google 'community award register scam' and click on the mukaumedia link ;-)
  • A leaflet just landed on my doormat from Fidelity Response Service, titled "Notification of your Response Award". I didn't enter anything and yet I am a winner! In the list of the cars and HD TVs etc I might have won there is an MP3 player, and so obviously if I phone the number they give (09061591399) or or text SENDIS to 84228, a crappy little MP3 gadget will be mine. The snag is of course the phone call will cost a fortune as will the postage. The UK postcode of this outfit is HR9 9WU, which is mentioned elsewhere in this forum in the address of another company.
  • I have just received a letter from The British Awards Council PO Box 63, Ross-on-wye, Herefordshire, HR9 9WX, identifying me as a claimant for one of a number of prizes. Put it in google and so glad I did. Why are they allowed to continue?

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Why does this thread keep getting bumped???

    Just start a new one :p
    Back on MSE after a 5 year hiatus.

    :heart2: Rhi :heart2:
  • So, they want you to make a phone call to an 0870 number (8p per minute or so) and pay £1 plus p&p for their catalogue and they'll give you £500.

    Seems like an excellent business model to me.
