had a call from this num saying id entered a comp for an ipad/10k and was shortlisted...so naturally listened on while he confirmed my details i'd entered....he then moved on to try and get me to sign up to lotteries, etc...so i would say the whole thing was a complete scam! googled the number and seems as though others have had the same thing happen! just thought i would warn the rest of you!

  • they mumbled something about 'deal street' when i asked, no idea who they are! the man got very cheeky on the phone when i said i wasn't interested and told me to do a police check lol i said ok and asked for company details...and he hung up!
  • I too had a call today from this number. I'd been shortlisted for either 10k or Ipad. Quite excited until he said that I'd entered it via a pop-up advert. At that point I said I was in a meeting and could I take their details and call them back later. He gave me a different number to the one he called on and promptly googled the telephone number which said that it was a potential scammer.

    Be on your guards!

    thanks for the warning, missed a call from this number today
  • I too have just had a phone call saying that I am one of a lucky 100 to go through to win an Iphone and then the lottery stuff came out too. I feel so blessed to be given this chance (not). What a load of codswallop. She is phoning me back on Monday, can't wait to have a good chat with them before I ask them to go away..... I shall be polite.
  • had a call last night and today from them but rejected them, ty OP saved me earache from another sales call :)
