  • Hi All,

    I have still not received this yet. They did say it may take some time. The cheque was sent about two weeks ago but they are claiming it was lost in the post during the snow and that they have had some problems tracking it. They have said they would cancel and then send another one. Now they are saying sorry for the delay they have arranged to make the payment by BACS, can i provide my bank details. It all seems legit as it was a competition i entered but I'm not really happy to do this.

    Any advice? sounds more like a scam but i've never given them any personal details...

    Never give your bank details out to anyone ever, if this is genuine then they can resend that lost cheque cant they, and do it recorded delivery this time, good luck and please keep us posted x

  • Thanks - I have told them I want it by cheque and that I'm not happy giving them any bank details, they already have name, address, phone, DOB, so they could do all sorts of damage if it was a scam..

  • Just received a response from them saying that it wasn't a problem me not wanting to provide them with the bank details and they will sort another cheque ASAP.

    Fingers crossed!
