Winning or Spam?

Hello,

I received a call yesterday. And the lady informed me that i won an Iphone 5S from the Carphone warehouse competition. As i enter many competitions on daily basis i am not sure what competition it is.

When i asked her for more details about the prize, she said that i will receive another call with more information.

And then she started informing about the carphone warehouse mobile deals. When i said i am not interested she hung up straight away.

Received the call from 02086175910.

I am not sure if it is a genuine winning call.

Help please!!!
Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing ;)

    This suggests that it is Carphone Warehouse, but most of the comments say it's upgrades/telesales.

    Even if it turns out not to be a 'win', well, you can always dip into your huge ITV windfall and buy yourself an Iphone 5s! ;) :rotfl:
