Hubby has had an email this affy from noreply@visadotcouk saying he has won a £2,012 prepaid card 
My only concern is the email was in his junk folder and a warning message it may not be from the source, however the email had the claim form which showed an amount and a transaction date for November.
I have just checked the cc statement and there is a transaction for this date and this amount
:D:D
I won a few £20 prepaid cards and the email looks just the same so here is hoping it it legit.
There is a visa contact number on the email but lines close at 5pm. The address on the claim form matched the visa website.
OMG I cannot even eat my tea I am so shocked and hoping and praying it is legit!!
Having now downloaded the email from our webmail to our mail server it certainly looks like the real thing.
This is our best prize ever and I have had a fantastic January so far with £500 of Debenhams vouchers, £75 high St Vouchers, £100 Restaurant vouchers and 2 great prizes in Sailor Jerry advent.
