Value Group - Competition

This is obviously my lucky month because I have won another competition I didn't enter.
Had a letter today from Value Group guaranteing me a prize worth at least £1k. Its accompanied by 4 cheques made out to me for between £20k and £75k. Reading the small print involves a 7.5min phone call at £1.50 per min for each cheque.

I got this too, very convincing if you don't bother to read the small print, I was going to post a warning but Poppy beat me to it. Has anyone got the details of how to contact Icstis?0

Yep I got one too - a quick Google and the Guardian site (links above) popped up - so straight in the shredder it went!
Icstis can be contacted at http://www.icstis.org.uk/

i got one of these yesterday. But i was thinking... can't you just sue them for this, i mean if you call the line and got nothing at all
anyway, i'm not going to call the line but in case someone do, aren't they entitled to the prize?Life should not be taken seriously, as no one would get out alive0
