Peachy winner???? Advice needed.

trev1976

I have won £20 by opening a box on this facebook competition. I have now received an email asking for my banking details - account number, sort code etc etc

I am a bit wary and wonder if anyone else has won? Am I OK giving banking details? Advice please.

I have the same problem.

I decided £20 was not worth the risk of giving out my bank details

Haven't come across this comp yet, is it Peachy Loans?

Just looking at their facebook page, they're asking people for their address as well as their bank details?

That seems a little dodgy to me, you don't need someone's address to send them a BACS payment, but you would need it if you wanted to start doing other things with their account...:/

Yes they asked for my address as well. Something just did not sit right with me.

I will say that when I saw this one the fb page did look a bit dodgy to me so I decided against playing. Can't pinpoint why, just didn't feel right. Hope it's all ok for the winners though.

maybe email back asking for them to send a cheque?

Just replied to the email asking if they will send out a Cheque. Will let you know if I receive a reply xxx

Just to let you know, my sister won £20 on this also. She gave her bank details, and within a few days, it was in her bank !

Absolutely no problems :j

Hiya somebody posted about this on conned by comps group on fb. Saying that peachy did ASK for a lot of details. I think one person has been payed out ok, but no sure about the rest. Perhaps check what they said before deciding what to do. X

But in the future will they use her bank details that's what we are suspicious of xxx

Paypal is another option to ask for

I don't know the specifics but haven't Wonga been in trouble recently for sending out letters claiming back money for loans that people don't know anything about? I wouldn't want to trust any of the payday loan companies with any of my personal details like home address.
