I have just received an email from Peachy Loans saying:

I have searched for them on Facebook and they have posted a status again saying congratulations I have won the competition today.

I am unsure as they are asking for my bank account details and definitely won't be giving those away?

Can anyone help? X

it sounds genuine, but maybe you can always ask if you can have a cheque or paypal payment instead?

So they can pay the £100 into your bank - they can only pay in, they can't take anything out as you have no signed contract for them to debit anything from you.
As that is how they do their business then that would be the only method - if you don't wish to give your account details then you would forfeit the prize

I won with them and the money was paid in straight away.

I won with them and the money was paid into my account really quickly.

All that information is available on any cheque you send. x

The sort code and account number is to pay in only. You need the long number and security number for them to take money out. There's more of a risk in sending a cheque by Royal Mail.
