My husband recieved a phone call saying he had won the This morning competition and he needs to travel to London on Monday(29.07.13) to collect prize. How do we verify authenticity of the call?
I have emailed This morning but they cannot guarantee a reply.
Also address we were given doesn't seem right.

    What number did they call from? Hope it's for real, sounds exciting.

    The London Studios (now known as ITV Towers) in Waterloo, Central London is a television studio complex formerly owned by London Weekend Television. The studios are located in Central London and is situated on the South Bank next to The IBM Building and the Royal National Theatre

    Studio 8 - 2,958 sq ft (274.8 m2) - This studio is located besides the main complex in the building known as Gabriel’s Wharf. Daytime show This Morning has occupied this studio since the show moved to London from Liverpool in 1996. It has 3 large windows overlooking the Thames which appear silver from the outside, restricting people being able to see in from the outside and reducing glare inside.

    Surely it depends on what he won? A car would make sense... a cash prize; not so much!

    This is the page for the studios contact details.

    http://www.itvstudiosuk.com/itvs-contact

    Might be worth ringing up the London one and finding out the number you need to contact, to confirm.

    Cars come from the dealers not the studio (and you need to have all the documentation before you can collect).

    A new car would be registered at the time of collection & DVLA would need details to do this.
  • If I had received a phone call saying I had won a THIS MORNING competition, I would have got ALL the information I needed to confirm the prize. If I had to go to London to collect it, I would have asked for the transport arrangements etc.... just my opinion..maybe one day it will be me;););)
