I got a call too today saying I have won but need 50£ for booking. Should I be ignoring it? Please advise.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I've just got a call telling me I won. She also slipped in the bit about the £50 booking fee and how it would be refunded on the day as it was just to secure my appointment. I pointed out it was an £800 prize so why should I pay £50, she didn't have a response so just said it was fine for me to have a think about it and even sent me an email to confirm my win. The email had no details about this charge.
Lucky for me, I have the combined wisdom of all you guys to check with. :T
