Runner up to a You & Your Wedding Photoshoot?

rawr_

I had a phone call about 10 minutes ago (a bit late at night if you ask me) saying that I was a runner up to a competition for a VIP Makeover & photoshoot worth £800.00. It is a genuine competition as I remember entering it on here!

Although I didn't win the main prize, they wanted to offer me a £500.00 package, and all I would have to do was give them a £50 deposit that I would get back on the day. He made me feel like I was a bit on the spot to be honest- so I made up a story about not being able to afford it and I'd let him know tomorrow I'm going to decline.

After looking at the email I received (I'd be sent it before the call) it says that the £50 deposit can only be redeemed against prints or other services on the day - all seems like a bit of a scam to me?

Just wanted to warn people incase they thought they had won an amazing prize - it could end up costing you!!

That's not unusual for photoshoot "prizes", just to get people through the door and go for pressure sales.
