Wowcher twitter win, BUT

Won a nice little comp with Wowcher for a saracens ball and jersey. They asked me to send name, address and proof of age - which I did - my driving licence with my other personal details and the licence number masked out.

now they replied with -


Could you also please include proof of your address? (Such as a current bank statement.)



I feel a bit reluctant to send a bank statement off to a random company! I've never been asked for anything like this before, even with really big wins such as holidays. Am I overreacting?

    I think as long as you include the logo of the bank and your name and address and blur everything out that should be enough for them, good luck

    actually now you say that I don't even get bank statements through the post! Maybe I could do what you say though just with a utility bill.

    well done they may just being cautious as just recently some one has been claiming to be the winner and then the real winner gets intouch (this happend to me the other week with a twitter win)
