UKIncentives & Promotions; scam or not?

vivvy2335

Anyone heard of UKIncentives & promotions? Sounds like someone I did a few online surveys for, and now they tell me I've won a prize worth at least £2500. Trouble is, it'll cost me £20 to get it. Strange that they can give away £2500 but not that last twenty. Everything shouts "scam" but because the online surveys seem legit I have a tiny element of doubt. Probably timeshares, but has anyone dealt with them?

SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
No legit company would ask you for £20 to receive a prize.
The "prize" you have won will probably be £2500 off double glazing or something equally pointless.

Its a Scam.

Don't lose any sleep over it, they're getting clever & cleverer.

What can one do to stop these people doing what they're doing.It's quite obvious that what they do is illegal.I have received several post from them and or similar promotion and to be honest,I feel sorry for the people who are naive to fall for this sort of thing as it all sound to "too good to be true" and it's probably is.I think these people needs to be stopped its not FAIR and its not RIGHT!They're in a way reaping everyone off (TAX PAYERS)
Any suggestions to help combat is more than welcome.
Thanks

On companies house website they are shown as having their accounts overdue.I suspect the small print will say a lesser prize is also available.,

I'm another person who has received a letter in the last few days regarding this... and a guaranteed prize of £2500+ its only the value which is making me wonder whether it's gotta be £20 outlay....

The prizes that this might refer to are either £2500 cash (i'll take that ) or an Advantage Award to a value in excess of £2500 including 5 holidays worth £1850 alone and other significant offers... surely this has to be worth £20 of my money?

Anyone actually had confirmation of the prize? any information is helpful... thanks!

If your willing to waste your money then off you go.

Its a scam though we are telling you, Even if you do only have to spend £20.

They will include electrial items- worth far less than 20 quid.

Save your money and just bin it

It is because of people like you that these scams work.
Enjoy your £20 pen.

hello everyone!!!
first of all THANK GOD FOR THIS WEBSITE!!!:T what a blessing!!!
i received a letter from this UKIncentives&Promotion none existing company saying that i ve won a MINI, £10 000 etc. i didnt believe it for a minute i went straight to the net and started looking for this stupid crap. guess what? Yes! thats right it does not exist!!!! now i came to this site and realise im actually not alone. Looking at the letter really carefully, there is no contact tel number! all there is, is a mixed and made up address plus asking for a refundable £20. What a load of crap, how can anyone get it back if you cant even get hold of them. its time we do something about it rather than letting these low class mother f*** get away with it. this is enough. i suggest smearing snot, dog poo etc on a fake cheque and return it to them. That will teach them a lesson:D

Ok thanks for the positive (well most of them) replies - i only wanted to get some feedback, what your forgetting is that I haven't actually sent off the £20 and neither do I intend on doing now, so don't be so presumptious next time Advent... but thanks anyway i've found out what i need now.
