  • So after entering the part of the competition to go to london i recieved an email today telling me im the winner. i was wondering if it was a scam until someone from the company phoned up. So i provided them with the details they wanted this was basically just my address and then i got an email saying they have changed the hotel from the mayfair to dolphin house in london. I am still very worried it could still be a scam. does anyone know if there's a way of finding out if i really am the winner or not? and if i will be safe as i did not give out my card details, i hope someone can help. thank you

    It is promoted via Bauer Media,who are a well known firm.They have lots of publications/radio stations & are not known as scammers so you should be fine.
    The only card details they should require are for hotel extras/damages.This is quite usual but in the main is just given on check-in at the hotel.At least that is my experience re holiday wins.

  • Thank you. Now getting excited. they asked for my sort code and account number to transfer the travel expense money to my account as they said a cheque wouldn't clear in time. so i have given them those details. ive never really received money that way but i assume nothing can go wrong by only given out those details.
