Hi Guys,

I have won a £30 Ikea gift card but it says i need to upload a proof of address like a bill, passport or driving license, does that sound dodgy?

    I don't know who quizonaut are, but I think whoever they are, they cannot gain much from a copy of a bill, other than your address, that they would need to send the prize. I woud prefer to send that than a copy of my driving licence or anything.
  • Thanks, that does make sense, just brought up to think everything is a scam!

    I had to provide ID when I won perfume, so what I did was take a copy of my driving licence and blacked out everything that wasn't necessary and sent them a scan. They shouldn't complain then :)

    Well done!
  • thanks both, especially for the link, i had a look around for previous posts about it, but should have done a proper search. So great i have only been doing the quizzes on here a couple of days and won yay!

    I've won with them a couple of times now and provided a copy of my water bill and received my prize with no problems.
    Think it's about time the comping fairy remembered where I am! lol

    I've won with them before- (Well 4 times actually, but as they've all been mousemats I only bothered claiming one!) and they DO ask for ID, so yes, it's legit.

    I won a stress out CD today. It all looks a bit dodgy to me so I uploaded a photo of my dog :-)
