Morning everyone,
I have received a WEM from an agency called The Black Tomato Agency on behalf of Channel 4, the prize is
- Panasonic Viera TX-L55DT65B LED HD 1080p 3D Smart TV, 55" with Freeview/Freesat HD & 4x 3D Glasses
- Panasonic SC-BTT880 5.1 3D Smart Blu-ray/DVD Home Cinema System
- TV Stand
- Delivery, set up and installation
I think it's from the mccain film 4 week 5 comp.
They are asking me to scan & email a copy of my passport or driving licence.
Does this sound for real, I,m a bit suspicious
Thanks

I have been asked for the same things for a few wins, mainly alcohol (obviously) prizes and perfumes. Sounds legit to me. Congratulations!"If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito" - Dalai Lama0

Just cover up passport or driving licence number. I've always sent photos with bits blacked out. As long as they can see your name and date of birth that usually satisfies them. Well done on your fab win£2 Savers Club for 2022 #120
