Fyeo sparkler shoot?

Options
I've been without a phone for the last week, husband dropped it in the sink! During my phone free week I think I've had my first win.

Got my replacement phone today and had a voicemail from a company telling me I had won a photo shoot and just needed to pay a £10 deposit to get it booked in. (message was Monday to book by Thursday) I honesty don't remember entering this - I'd actively avoid any kind of photo shoot so I'm wondering if it's a scam, it have I been click happy.

Has anyone else received this call?

    I agree with snake, sounds decidedly dodgy to me. Sorry.

    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.
  • I remember something similar years ago, where the 'shoot' itself is free (or £10 in your case) but if you want any of the photos they are astronomically expensive. Personally I wouldn't think it's a prize, just there way of drumming up business.

    Hope you win something soon xx
